Research Description
By combining crystal growth techniques with high-precision transport and thermodynamic measurement tools, Linda Ye’s research group aims to explore new ways of designing and realizing novel emergent phases and properties in single crystalline quantum materials. Dr. Ye’s strategic focus lies in leveraging the synergy of the following flavors: topology of electron wave functions, symmetry and geometry of host crystalline lattices, and interaction between electrons. Additionally, her group specializes in the application of dynamical strain-based elastocaloric effect as a thermodynamic tool for probing symmetry-breaking phases and fluctuations in quantum materials.
Research Impact
One of her group’s objectives is to gain a better experimental understanding of how to create quantum materials that are both strongly correlated and topological. Such materials can carry the benefits of both supporting new types of robust quantum order with protected topological features, and fully utilizing the quantum properties of electrons. Using synthesis, she is exploring a wide range of material and parameter space to establish new materials platforms that expand beyond the current spectrum of quantum materials.
