Almut Schroeder

Almut Schroeder is an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at Kent State University. Her research focuses on strongly correlated electron systems, quantum phase transitions, and neutron scattering. She conducts experiments at facilities like NIST, IRIS, and Oak Ridge, combining material science and cryogenics with fundamental physics.

Education: Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (1991).

Research Interests:

• Electronic and magnetic properties of transition metal oxides/rare earth alloys
• Quantum criticality and non-Fermi liquid behavior
• Inelastic neutron scattering analysis
• Superconductivity in heavy fermion systems

Experimental Methods: Sample preparation (f- and d-electron alloys), low-temperature transport measurements, and neutron scattering.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with national facilities for neutron spectroscopy, emphasizing interdisciplinary skills in cryogenics and electronics.
