Our lab investigates strongly correlated electron phenomena such as superconductivity, quantum magnetism, Mott insulators, quantum ferroelectrics, quantum Hall effects, and multiferroics. These phenomena arise from the interactions between electron spin, charge, orbitals, and phonons. We study these phenomena through controlled phase transitions by manipulating temperature, magnetic field, pressure, and chemical doping. The ideal states of studying condensed matter lie in growing the highest quality single crystals in the world. By using extreme conditions to induce phase transitions, such as ultra-low temperatures (1.8 Kelvin + 50 mK) and ultra-high magnetic fields (14 Tesla or 60 Tesla), we control quantum states to understand their physical mechanisms. The fundamental understanding of condensed matter obtained through our research is applied to developing new semiconductor materials, artificial intelligent semiconductor/synaptic materials, and quantum materials.
