معرفی
Eundeok Mun is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in the Department of Physics at Simon Fraser University (SFU). Their research focuses on novel materials with unconventional magnetic and electronic properties, including magnetism, superconductivity, and quantum criticality. They lead the Emerging Materials Lab, which synthesizes and characterizes materials to explore phenomena like spin dynamics and topological defects.
Education: Ph.D. in Physics from Iowa State University; M.Sc. and B.Sc. from Sungkyunkwan University. Current course instruction includes PHYS 421 (Electromagnetic Waves).
Research interests emphasize quantum materials, frustrated magnetism, and topological phases. Recent work includes studies on spin dynamics in Heisenberg chains, frustrated triangular lattice antiferromagnets, and superconducting high-entropy alloys. Notable achievements include the Canada Research Chair award.
Key contributions involve magnetic field effects in Kondo lattice systems, pressure-induced transitions in superconductors, and resistivity minima in gadolinium-based compounds. The lab collaborates on crystal growth, neutron scattering, and advanced characterization techniques.
Students advised: David Evans (M.Sc. candidate), Jeonghun Lee (Ph.D. candidate). Research group members actively engage in synthesizing novel compounds and exploring their electronic/magnetic properties.
Labs/Teams: Emerging Materials Lab (EMLab) focuses on experimental condensed matter physics with state-of-the-art facilities for material synthesis and characterization.
