Supercool recognition for Qi-Kun Xue

Qikun Xue

FLEET Partner Investigator Qikun Xue

Congratulations to Tsinghua Vice-President, and FLEET partner investigator, Prof Qi-kun Xue, one of the recipients of the 2020 Fritz London Prize, which recognises scientists making outstanding contributions in the field of low-temperature physics.

Within FLEET, Prof Xue coordinates the collaboration between Tsinghua and FLEET, including a significant exchange program of student and postdoctoral researchers. He also provides critical insights in novel 2D topological insulators in the quantum spin Hall and quantum anomalous Hall phases in FLEET’s Research Theme 1: Topological materials.

Xue pioneered high quality thin films of topological insulators and first demonstrated the quantum anomalous Hall effect.
