Achievements and Challenges on Superconductivity in Copper Oxides
Biography
Xiao-Jia Chen joined University of Houston as a professor in Department of Physics and a principal investigator of Texas Center for Superconductivity in June 2023. Prior to these appointments, he worked in academic institutions such as Harbin Institute of Technology at Shenzhen, High-Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research at Shanghai of China, Carnegie Institution of Washington in the United States, and Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Germany. He earned his Ph.D, degree in condensed matter physics in 1997 from Zhejiang University. He has expertise in the experimental and theoretical study of superconductivity in many materials spanning cuprates, iron-based compounds, organic compounds, and hydrogen-bearing materials. His current research focuses on the discovery of new superconductors and the improvement of the performance of known superconductors by understanding the fundamental physics of superconductivity through high-pressure study. He is also making efforts to improve the thermoelectric performance through pressure tuning in the existing thermoelectric materials and to understand the intrinsic relationship between the topology and thermoelectricity.
