Taishi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates the high-temperature optical properties of excitons in nanomaterials and applies the findings to energy conversion.

AboutAbout the lab
Probing excitons in nanomaterials through heat and light
The Taishi Lab studies how to elucidate the physical properties of nanomaterials and develop their functions, from the perspectives of thermal and optical property science and energy science.
Its main research theme is to clarify the high-temperature optical properties of excitons in low-dimensional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes.
The lab also works on developing energy conversion technologies based on these findings.
Key terms
- Exciton
- A bound state of an electron and a hole (the vacancy left behind when an electron is missing). It forms in a material through processes such as light absorption.
- Carbon nanotube
- An extremely thin material, on the nanometer (one billionth of a meter) scale, in which carbon atoms are connected in a tube shape.
