Vladimir Strokov

Vladimir Strokov is a beamline scientist at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), affiliated with the Center for Photon Science and the Laboratory for Advanced Spectroscopy and X-ray Sources. Since 2023, he has also taught a course on Electron Spectroscopy for master's and PhD students at the University of Zurich. With over 260 publications, his career spans research positions at institutions across Europe, including Chalmers University of Technology and Universität Augsburg.

Education:

• Graduated from the Physics Faculty of St. Petersburg State University
• PhD from the Research Institute of Physics of St. Petersburg State University
• Habilitation (senior doctorate) from the Institute of Analytic Instrumentation, St. Petersburg

Research focuses on quantum materials using advanced spectroscopic techniques, particularly soft-X-ray Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARPES). His work targets:

• Electronic structure of bulk materials, nanostructures, and impurities
• Instrumentation development for synchrotron beamlines and spin-resolved detectors
• Applications in correlated oxides, semiconductor heterostructures, and topological materials

Publications emphasize ARPES methodology and quantum materials analysis, with trends including:

• Beamline design and spectrometer innovation
• Electronic structure of oxide interfaces and heterojunctions
• Many-body effects in correlated electron systems
• Spin-resolved spectroscopy techniques

Institutional leadership includes:

• Design/operation of the ADRESS beamline at Swiss Light Source
• Development of the iMott multichannel spin analyzer
• Optics design for high-resolution X-ray spectrometers
