Songxue Chi

Neutron Scattering Scientist

Songxue Chi is an instrument scientist on the ORNL HB3 triple-axis spectrometer at HFIR. His current scientific interests are in the field of condensed matter physics; in particular in emergent phenomena in strongly correlated materials and complex oxide where the interplay among spin, charge and lattice degrees of freedom often lead to exotic phases. He received his PhD in condensed matter physics from the university of Tennessee, Knoxville. Prior to joining ORNL, he was an instrument scientist at the NIST Center for Neutron Research.
