FACTS
• He was born in Vitebsk in 1930, 15 March. He is an
outstanding physicist in the world. He was awarded
with Nobel Prize in 2000 for discoveries in
semiconductor sphere.

3.

BIOGRAPHI
• During the Great Patriotic War the Alferovs moves to
Sverdlovsk region. Zhores finished school with the
golden medal in Minsk where they came after the
war. He was a brilliant student.

4.

EDUCATION
• in 1952 he graduated from the Leningrad
Electrotechnical Institute where he had
been enrolled without exams.
• Since 1953, he has worked in the Ioffe
Physico-Technical Institute of the USSR
Academy of Sciences (Russian Academy of
Sciences since 1991)

5.

CARIEER
• From the Institute he earned scientific degrees: a
Candidate of Sciences in Technology in 1961 and a
Doctor of Sciences in Physics and Mathematics in
1970. Director of the Institute since 1987, he was
elected as a corresponding member of the USSR
Academy of Sciences in 1972 and a full member in
1979. From 1989, he has been Vice-President of the

GREAT RESULTS
• Since 1962, he has been working in the area of
semiconductor heterostructures
• In 2000, Alferov received the Nobel Prize for Physics,
with Herbert Kroemer and Jack Kilby.

7.

INVENTIONS
• Zhores I. Alferov and Herbert
Kroemer have invented and
developed fast opto- and
microelectronic components
based on layered semiconductor
structures, termed
semiconductor heterostructures

8.

DISCOVERIES
• Fast transistors built
using heterostructure
technology are used in
e.g. radio link satellites
and the base stations of
mobile telephones

9.

INVENTIONS
• Laser diodes built with the same
technology drive the flow of
information in the Internet's
fibre-optical cables. They are also
found in CDplayers, bar-code
readers and laser pointers Laser
diodes built with the same
technology drive the flow of
information in the Internet's
fibre-optical cables.

10.

OUR FUTURE
• With heterostructure
technology powerful lightemitting diodes are being
built for use in car brakelights, traffic lights and other
warning lights. Electric bulbs
may in the future be replaced
by light-emitting diodes.

11.

POLITICAL CAREER
• He is also a Russian politician and
has been a member of the Russian
State Parliament, the Duma, since
1995. Lately, he has become one of
the most influential members of
