Welcome to the Takenobu Lab Website
| Our research focus on p-electron materials, e.g. organic and nano-carbon materials. Our aim is to understand physical properties of these materials and to explore their novel functional devices. The current research interests include investigating transport and optical properties of carbon nanotubes, atomically thin materials, and conducting polymers. We also focus on device applications using these materials, such as transistors, thermoelectric devices, light-emitting (photo-detecting) devices, and lasers. If you are interested in our group, please contact us. We always welcome domestic/international JSPS research fellows. Please see the following website for further information: more info |

Electrically driven organic laser
One of the biggest advantages of organic materials is an excellent luminescent property, which is well known in organic light-emitting diode. However, the electrical driven organic lasers have not yet been realized. We are trying to realize first electrical driven organic laser.
