I am interested in understanding the evolution of the superconducting gap structure near quantum critical points (QCPs), where strong electronic correlations and competing orders give rise to novel quantum phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel, I explore quantum spin liquids (QSLs) and frustrated magnetism in geometrically frustrated systems. My work aims to develop and employ novel experimental techniques to detect and characterize QSL states, while also investigating their potential implications for emergent quantum functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More broadly, my research encompasses a variety of quantum materials, including heavy-fermion compounds (HF), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), quantum spin liquid candidates, and high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). To probe these systems, I develop and apply low-temperature experimental methods\u2014such as thermal and transport measurements and point-contact spectroscopy\u2014under extreme conditions of high magnetic fields, high pressures, and ultra-low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, I have become particularly interested in advancing experimental techniques capable of accessing the \u201c1\u2013100 mK\u201d regime, including transport and thermodynamic measurements optimized for ultralow temperatures. By integrating these capabilities with the High B\/T facility at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), I aim to precisely investigate new physical properties that emerge in extreme cryogenic environments and to push the boundaries of correlated-electron research.&nbsp;&nbsp;Through these efforts, I aim to uncover new emergent phenomena and deepen our understanding of correlated electron systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1445,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-4","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1445"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions\/39"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/sangyun-lee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
