Abstract. Using a microscopic model and the Green's function technique we have studied the phonon properties of ion doped single- and bilayer graphene. There are differences in the behavior of the energy and damping of the G and 2D modes in a p- and n-doped single-layer graphene. A microscopic explanation is proposed. The influence of the electron-phonon interaction is discussed. We report also phonon energy and damping renormalization in bi-layer graphene as a function of doping. The results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental data.
