Director LEE Young Hee

Professor Lee is the director of the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics (CINAP), established in December 2012. Director Lee received his B.S. from Chonbuk National University in 1982 before obtaining his Ph.D. from Kent State University, in USA, in 1986. Director Lee was a Professor at Chonbuk National University from 1987 to 2001 after which he became a Fellow at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in 2001. In 2007 he was promoted to a Fellow at Korea Academy of Science and Technology (KAST) before taking up his position within IBS in late 2012.

Introduction

Our center focuses on synthesizing 2D layered materials, in particular in a wafer-scale, and explore the related unprecedented physics and devices.

Main research activities

• - Quantum Photonics for 2D Ultimate Photovoltaics
• - 2D Ferromagnetism
• - Coulombic Boson Electronics
• - NT/BT Brain Science
• - Emerging Quantum Materials
• - 2D Semiconducting Graphene
• - Visible Photocatalyst Design
• - Chiral monomer by Light
• - Graphene based Metasurfaces
• - Low Temperature Physics

Our goal is to understand physics of low dimensional structures and to push the limit of sensitivity and spatial resolution in the measurements of nanomaterials by designing multi-modal nanoscopy systems. In order to achieve our overall goal, we have defined a specific research aim, which is to search for new and multi-faceted physical properties on the designed nanostructures and their hybridized complexes.
The proposed research will cover growth of nanostructures and their hybrids which reveal multi-functional properties, theoretical modeling of nanostructures, carrier dynamics and thermoelectric properties, design of correlation nanoscopy to measure multi-modal properties of nanostructures with high spatial resolution and improved signal to noise ratio.
