[en] We present spatially resolved Raman images of the G and 2D lines of single-layer graphene flakes. The spatial fluctuations of G and 2D lines are correlated and are thus shown to be affiliated with local doping domains. We investigate the position of the 2D line-the most significant Raman peak to identify single-layer graphene-as a function of charging up to vertical bar n vertical bar approximate to 4x10(12) cm(-2). Contrary to the G line which exhibits a strong and symmetric stiffening with respect to electron and hole doping, the 2D line shows a weak and slightly asymmetric stiffening for low doping. Additionally, the linewidth of the 2D line is, in contrast to the G line, doping independent making this quantity a reliable measure for identifying single-layer graphene.
