Ying Jiun Chen

Dr. Ying Jiun Chen is a Researcher at the Physics of Nanoscale Systems (ER-C-1) within the Ernst Ruska Center for Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. The Ernst Ruska Center represents a major national infrastructure for advanced materials characterization, named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who pioneered electron microscopy.

Dr. Chen's research focuses on cutting-edge topics in quantum materials and condensed matter physics. Their work spans multiple specialized areas including 2D topological magnets, quantum spin phenomena, van der Waals heterostructures, and ultrafast magnetic excitations. The research employs sophisticated experimental techniques that enable atomic-scale investigation of quantum phenomena with implications for next-generation electronic and spintronic devices.

Dr. Chen utilizes state-of-the-art methodologies including time- and spin-resolving momentum microscopy, photoemission spectromicroscopy, high-resolution spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These advanced techniques allow for unprecedented characterization of magnetic and electronic properties in novel quantum materials systems.

As part of the research ecosystem at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Dr. Chen collaborates with various research groups across the institution, particularly those focused on quantum materials and advanced characterization techniques. The research environment fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between physics, materials science, and engineering disciplines to address fundamental questions in quantum phenomena.
