| Jaejun Yu’s research interests lie primarily in the area of condensed matter theory of strongly correlated electron materials and computational materials physics. Of particular interest is to understand and discover new physical properties of novel materials including transition metal compound and low-dimensional systems. He is also involved in the development of theoretical and computational methods and their application to the study of electronic and magnetic properties of real materials. Current research focuses on understanding topological band structures of novel transition metal compounds, e.g., Ir-oxides or chalcogenides, exploring new two-dimensional materials manifesting interesting topological characteristics of topological insulators, Chern insulators, or fractional Chern insulators, and manipulating defects in metal oxides for ptype oxide semiconductors, catalysts, and possible device applications. |
