We present a joint theory-experiment study on ultrafast photoluminescence from photoexcited graphene. Based on a microscopic theory, we reveal two distinct mechanisms behind the occurring photoluminescence: Besides the well-known incoherent contribution driven by non-equilibrium carrier occupations, we found a coherent part that spectrally shifts with the excitation energy. In our experiments, we demonstrate for the first time the predicted appearance and spectral shift of the coherent photoluminescence.

Electronic states in 2D materials can exhibit pseudospin degrees of freedom, which allow for unique carrier-field interaction scenarios. Here, we investigate ultrafast sublattice pseudospin relaxation in graphene by means of polarization-resolved pho
toluminescence spectroscopy. Comparison with microscopic Boltzmann simulations allows to determine a lifetime of the optically aligned pseudospin distribution of $12pm 2,text{fs}$. This experimental approach extends the toolbox of graphene pseudospintronics, providing novel means to investigate pseudospin dynamics in active devices or under external fields.
In conventional light harvesting devices, the absorption of a single photon only excites one electron, which sets the standard limit of power-conversion efficiency, such as the Shockley-Queisser limit. In principle, generating and harnessing multiple
carriers per absorbed photon can improve the efficiency and possibly overcome this limit. Here, we report the observation of multiple hot carrier collection in graphene-boron-nitride Moire superlattice structures. A record-high zero-bias photoresponsivity of 0.3 ampere per watt, equivalently, an external quantum efficiency exceeding 50 percent, is achieved utilizing graphene photo-Nernst effect, which demonstrates a collection of at least 5 carriers per absorbed photon. We reveal that this effect arises from the enhanced Nernst coefficient through Lifshtiz transition at low energy Van Hove singularities, which is an emergent phenomenon due to the formation of Moire minibands. Our observation points to a new means for extremely efficient and flexible optoelectronics based on van der Waals heterostructures.
Strongly correlated systems exhibit intriguing properties caused by intertwined microscopic in- teractions that are hard to disentangle in equilibrium. Employing non-equilibrium time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on the quasi-two-dimensional tr
ansition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS$_2$, we identify a spectroscopic signature of double occupied sites (doublons) that are reflects fundamental Mott physics. Doublon-hole recombination is estimated to occur on time scales of one electronic hopping cycle $hbar/Japprox$ 14 fs. Despite strong electron-phonon coupling the dynamics can be explained by purely electronic effects captured by the single band Hubbard model, where thermalization is fast in the small-gap regime. Qualitative agreement with the experimental results however requires the assumption of an intrinsic hole-doping. The sensitivity of the doublon dynamics on the doping level provides a way to control ultrafast processes in such strongly correlated materials.
Despite having outstanding electrical properties, graphene is unsuitable for optical devices because of its zero band gap. Here, we report two-dimensional excitonic photoluminescence (PL) from graphene grown on Cu(111) surface, which shows an unexpec
ted remarkably sharp and strong emission near 3.16 eV (full-width at half-maximum $leq$ 3meV) and multiple emissions around 3.18 eV. As temperature increases, these emissions blue-shift, showing the characteristic negative thermal coefficient of graphene. Observed PLs originate from significantly suppressed dispersion of excited electrons in graphene caused by hybridization of graphene $pi$ and Cu d orbitals of the 1st and 2nd Cu layers at a shifted saddle point 0.525(M+K) of Brillouin zone. This finding provides a new pathway to engineering novel optoelectronic graphene devices, whilst maintaining the outstanding electrical properties of graphene.
Ultrafast electrically driven nanoscale light sources are critical components in nanophotonics. Compound semiconductor-based light sources for the nanophotonic platforms have been extensively investigated over the past decades. However, monolithic ul
trafast light sources with a small footprint remain a challenge. Here, we demonstrate electrically driven ultrafast graphene light emitters that achieve light pulse generation with up to 10 GHz bandwidth, across a broad spectral range from the visible to the near-infrared. The fast response results from ultrafast charge carrier dynamics in graphene, and weak electron-acoustic phonon-mediated coupling between the electronic and lattice degrees of freedom. We also find that encapsulating graphene with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers strongly modifies the emission spectrum by changing the local optical density of states, thus providing up to 460 % enhancement compared to the grey-body thermal radiation for a broad peak centered at 720 nm. Furthermore, the hBN encapsulation layers permit stable and bright visible thermal radiation with electronic temperatures up to 2,000 K under ambient conditions, as well as efficient ultrafast electronic cooling via near-field coupling to hybrid polaritonic modes. These high-speed graphene light emitters provide a promising path for on-chip light sources for optical communications and other optoelectronic applications.
