In non-symmorphic nanoribbons the phonon modes at the edge of the Brillouin zone are twofold degenerate, whereas the phonon modes in symmorphic nanoribbons are non-degenerate. We identified the Raman-active and infrared-active modes. We predict 3N and 3(N+1) Raman-active modes for N-ZGNRs and N-AGNRs, respectively (N is the number of dimers per unit cell). These modes can be used for the experimental characterization of graphene nanoribbons.
