Young Lee

Young Lee is a Professor at Stanford University actively teaching undergraduate and graduate courses including PHYSICS 43: Electricity and Magnetism and research-intensive courses across Applied Physics (APPPHYS 290, 291, 390), Physics (PHYSICS 490), and Materials Science (MATSCI 300). His multidisciplinary appointments reflect deep engagement with quantum materials research at the intersection of Physics, Engineering, and Materials Science.

His research program centers on experimental investigations of quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems, with primary expertise in:

• Quantum spin liquids and frustrated magnetism in kagome lattices (barlowite, herbertsmithite)
• High-temperature superconductivity mechanisms in cuprate systems
• Topological phases and magnon insulators
• Electronic structure of halide perovskites under extreme conditions

Professor Lee employs advanced experimental techniques including resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to probe spin, charge, and lattice dynamics. His recent publications (2021-2023) reveal consistent focus on exotic quantum states, with particular emphasis on spin-polarized domains in kagome antiferromagnets, charge density wave physics in cuprates, and stabilization of unusual oxidation states in perovskites.
