Growing, exfoliating, fabricating, and looking at atomic scale

 

Welcome to LEMON at Seoul National University! Our group is focused on understanding the behavior of thin 3D materials at the atomic scale. We aim to combine freestanding membranes of various material systems and observe under electron microscopy, to study their reaction under strain, bias, heat etc. in atomic scale.
