Research Interests

Lu Li’s research focuses on the experimental study of strongly correlated electronic system. During his Ph.D. study, he explored diamagnetic signals from the pairing condensate of high T_c superconductors with sensitive torque magnetometry; he uncovered the low temperature vortex liquid phase in the lightly doped region of
La_2-xSr_xCuO₄. Li also studied the electronic and magnetic properties of other strongly correlated electronic materials, such as thermoelectric material Na_xCoO₂, p-wave superconductor Sr₂RuO₄ and single element Bismuth.
