Jing Qi

Dr. Jing Qi is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Experimental Physics II at the University of Würzburg's Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, specializing in nanoscale quantum materials and surface phenomena. She joined the research group led by Prof. Dr. Matthias Bode in October 2019 and maintains her laboratory in Building P1 (Physics), Room F164.

Educational Background:

• Bachelor of Science (2013), Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China)
• Master of Science (2015), Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China)
• Dr. rer. nat. in Physics (2019), Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China)

Her research centers on scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) investigations of two-dimensional quantum materials, with particular emphasis on magnetic chirality tuning, molecular self-assembly on surfaces, and electronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides. She employs advanced instrumentation including LT-STM/AFM and CryoMag systems to probe nanoscale phenomena at cryogenic temperatures. Her experimental approach integrates atomic-scale imaging with first-principles calculations to establish structure-property relationships in novel materials systems.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2017-2024) reveals dominant research themes in quantum material characterization (73%), magnetic nanostructures (62%), and molecular electronics (45%), with increasing focus on Kagome lattices and topological materials in recent works. Her collaborative network spans Germany (University of Würzburg), China (Institute of Physics CAS), and international institutions.

Scientific Recognition:

• Contributions to high-impact journals including Angewandte Chemie, Physical Review B, and Nature Communications
• Key role in discovering Kagome flat-band localized states through STM imaging
• Development of methods for reversible magnetic chirality control

Dr. Qi actively contributes to the department's research infrastructure, particularly in cryogenic STM instrumentation (LT-1, LT-2, LT-3 systems). She collaborates extensively with theoretical groups for first-principles validation of experimental findings. Her current work focuses on engineered quantum states in 2D materials for potential spintronic applications, with several open research positions available in her team for experimental and computational projects.
