The phonon dispersion relations of graphene on Ir(111) were determined with angle-resolved inelastic electron scattering. A weak graphene–Ir interaction is inferred from the lifting of the degeneracy of the out-of-plane optical and acoustic dispersion branches at the K point of the surface Brillouin zone and from the energy reduction of the out-of-plane optical phonon. Despite this interaction the Kohn anomalies known from graphite of the highest optical phonon branch at Γ and K persist. The experimental dispersion relations are in agreement with density functional calculations.
