Does a real device (e.g. high-mobility graphene) show self-sustained emission at this frequency above the predicted threshold current? Answer yes or no.","problem_ref":"2c5faf8f4d374333e822dd51900a3b287c5759e4bcf4958c3f3ace170cec9235","references":"","settled_by":"Detection of narrowband emission near $s/(4 L_{\\mathrm{ch}})$ that
