We turn graphene from an inert electronic material to the most nonlinear for terahertz range using a small voltage.
Many promising optoelectronic devices, such as broadband photodetectors, nonlinear frequency converters, and building blocks for data communication systems, exploit photoexcited charge carriers in graphene. For these it is essential to understand the relaxation dynamics after photoexcitation. These contain a sub-100 fs thermalization phase, which occurs through carrier-carrier scattering leads carrier distribution with an elevated temperature. This followed by picosecond cooling where...

While it has long been accepted that the role of momentum dark excitons in photoresponse transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is critical, their weak optical signature inhibits study through conventional means.

To do so, present dual action spectroscopy, photocurrent- luminescence-detected Fourier-transform excitation spectroscopy scheme, microscopically map energy...
Due to its outstanding electrical properties and chemical stability, graphene finds widespread use in various electrochemical applications. Although the presence of electrolytes strongly affects conductivity, underlying mechanism has remained elusive. Here, we employ terahertz spectroscopy as a contact-free means investigate impact ubiquitous cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+) aqueous solution on electronic SiO2-supported graphene. We find that, without applying any external potential, can shift...

Many promising optoelectronic devices, such as broadband photodetectors, nonlinear frequency converters, and building blocks for data communication systems, exploit photoexcited charge carriers in graphene. For these it is essential to understand, eventually control, the cooling dynamics of photoinduced hot-carrier distribution. There is, however, still an active debate on different mechanisms that contribute cooling. In particular, intrinsic mechanism ultimately limits remains open...
