Zhores Ivanovich Alferov is a Russian physicist who made major contributions to electronics. In 2000 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with German-born American physicist Herbert Kroemer and American electrical engineer Jack Kilby.
Ajferov was born in 1930 in Vitebsk and raised in Byelorussia. His father was a well-educated man, a graduate of the Industrial Academy in Saint Petersburg. Due to his father's professional activity the family lived all over the country: Volgograd, Novosibirsk, Barnaul and eventually Minsk, where Zhores attended a boy's school in the destroyed post-war city.
He was lucky enough to have an excellent Physics teacher who was devoted to his subject and had a gift for making the boys' imagination work. Zhores was greatly impressed by his lectures on radar systems. After finishing school Zhores took his teacher's advice on where to continue his education and attended the celebrated Ulyanov Electrotechnical Institute in Leningrad.
After graduating in 1952 Zhores began work at the Physico-Technical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences and in 1987 became director of the institute. At that time work on creation of the new semiconductor electronics and space investigation was of utmost importance. Understanding the logic of the rapidly developing electronics industry, Alferov coached and created an organisation that could win in the marketplace. In 1972 Zhores together with his students and colleagues was awarded the Lenin Prize — the highest scientific prize in the USSR.
Alferov's style of work was based on belief in human talent and good team work. His ability to recognise research talent in others and to spot rare and valuable leadership qualities in young researchers was highly respected by his colleagues. Alferov was also a great communicator, always ready to face the toughest of challenges. He was capable of effective communication internally with the research staff of his institute, and externally with executives who lack technical knowledge. His ability to explain scientific views clearly, to formulate business strategy and solve critical business problems was exceptional.
He was elected a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1972, and a full member in 1979. Since 1989 he has been Vice-President of the USSR Academy of Sciences and president of its Saint Petersburg Scientific Centre. He has also been a member of the State Duma since 1995.
Alferov invented the heterotransistor. This could cope with much higher frequencies than its predecessors and revolutionised the mobile phone and satellite communications.
