Dr. Eundeok Mun¿s CRC research program explores new quantum materials with potentially beneficial properties for electronic devices and energy technologies. The goal of the proposed research is the discovery, synthesis, characterization and understanding of new classes of quantum materials. To find quantum spin-liquid states in metals, non-trivial topological states in magnetic materials, and other desirable quantum states, the research targets specific types of compounds in which the magnetic transition-metal and rare-earth ions occupy frustrated lattice geometries. Specific objectives for the next five years include searching for 1) quantum spin liquid states and 2) topologically non-trivial states in metals.
