摘要

Abstract

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have indicated the existence of a new stable phase of carbon with mixed sp

and sp

hybridized bonds—diaphite. Such a two-layered structure with sp

/sp

bonds may be observed after the photostimulation of highly oriented pyrolytic graphene with femtosecond laser pulses. This hidden multistability of graphene may be used to create a semiconducting phase immersed in the semimetallic continuum

resulting in bandgap opening. We demonstrate that bandgap opening and light emission from graphene is possible using continuous-wave laser beams with wavelengths from the visible (405 nm) to the near-infrared range (975 nm). We demonstrate that without the application of cooling

the effective temperature of the emitting sample remains lower than 900 K

which is far below the value predicted by the theory of black-body radiation. Moreover

light emission from a graphene sample may be observed at temperatures as low as 10 K.
