Thermal Decoupling: A Mystery Solver in Unconventional High-Tc Layered Superconductors
Biography
Prof. Gun-Do Lee received his Ph.D. in Physics from Seoul National University, South Korea in 1996. He was a postdoctoral researcher at Iowa State University and the Ames Lab. He is a full research professor in Materials Science and Engineering at Seoul National University. Over the past 20 years, he has studied 2D materials using simulation methods such as ab initio calculations and tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations. He has published a total of 105 peer-reviewed journal articles, including Nano Letters (6), ACS Nano (15), Advanced Materials (3), Nature Communications (2), Science Advances (2), Physical Review Letters (3), and Nature Synthesis (1). Prof. Lee started his superconductivity research after the superconductivity in two-dimensional materials was reported. After discovering a new mechanism called thermal decoupling in high-Tc superconductivity, Prof. Lee became the director of the Center for High-Temperature Superconductors at Seoul National University in May this year, where he is leading a National Grand Challenge project titled “Identifying the mechanism of non-Fermi liquid through thermal decoupling and developing innovative superconductors”.
