About
Jongsoo Yoon serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Virginia, actively contributing to departmental governance through multiple committees: Committee on Instructional Laboratories and Technologies, Committee on Infrastructure and Safety, Undergraduate Program Committee, and Committee on Teaching.
Education:
- Ph.D. from Penn State (1997)
Research Interests:
Dr. Yoon specializes in experimental condensed matter physics with emphasis on phases and phase transitions in two-dimensional electronic systems. His work investigates quantum phenomena—including integer/fractional quantum Hall effects, electron crystallization, and quantum phase transitions—in thin superconductor films and semiconductor heterostructures under extreme low-temperature and high-magnetic-field conditions. His research group pioneers advanced device fabrication using semiconductor microtechnologies to develop kinetic inductance bolometers, superconducting transition-edge sensors, and SQUIDs for unprecedented precision in thermodynamic, transport, noise spectrum, and microwave conductivity measurements.
Laboratory Operations:
His laboratory leverages semiconductor microfabrication to create state-of-the-art measurement devices, enabling novel experimental approaches to poorly understood quantum behaviors in 2D materials.
