Research Overview
Prof. Yeh specializes in experimental condensed matter physics, focusing on fundamental studies and technological applications of quantum materials and nanoscience. Her current research topics include correlated electrons (e.g., high-temperature superconductors and colossal magnetic perovskites), topological materials (e.g., topological insulators/superconductors), low-dimensional systems (e.g., van der Waals materials/heterostructures based on graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition-metal dichalcogenides), and energy research (e.g., photovoltaic cells, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors).
