معرفی
Stephan Rosenkranz is a Research Fellow and Group Leader at the Materials Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory, where he has been a key figure in advancing neutron and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques since 2002. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from ETH Zurich (1997) and a Diploma in Experimental Physics (1992) from the same institution.
- Educational Background
- Ph.D. in Physics, ETH Zurich (1997)
- Diploma (with distinction) in Experimental Physics, ETH Zurich (1992)
His research focuses on probing short-range spin, charge, and lattice correlations in strongly correlated electron systems using neutron and x-ray scattering methods. He has led the development of the CORELLI instrument at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source and pioneered novel approaches to model correlated disorder from diffraction data.
Recent publication trends highlight his expertise in charge density waves, spin density waves, and geometrically frustrated magnets. His work integrates experimental scattering with machine learning for big data analysis, particularly in quantum materials like nickelates, iron pnictides, and superconductors.
- Scientific Awards
- ETH Pólya Prize (1992)
- ETH Zurich Medal (1997)
- University of Chicago Distinguished Performance Award (2006)
- Fellow of the American Physical Society (2013)
- Fellow of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (2018)
As Co-Director of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering (2018–2024) and former President of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (2013–2016), Rosenkranz plays a pivotal role in training and governance in scattering sciences. He has contributed to beamline reviews, grant panels, and international workshops on competing interactions in transition metal compounds.
His leadership extends to the development of advanced x-ray and neutron instrumentation and fostering collaborations between Argonne, Northern Illinois University, and the University of Illinois Chicago through graduate faculty appointments.
