Research Interests:

Professor Lee’s research is in the field of experimental condensed matter physics. In particular, his group is interested in strongly correlated materials such as high TC superconductors, quantum magnets, frustrated spin systems, and multiferroics. The main experimental techniques that the group uses are elastic and inelastic neutron scattering with which one can directly probe the many body response function. Neutron scattering experiments are performed at several domestic and international facilities, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The group also has the in-house capability of growing high quality single crystals of transition metal oxides using a state-of-the-art image furnace.
