Zhores Alferov, in full Zhores Ivanovich Alfyorov (born March 15, 1930, Vitebsk, Belorussia, U.S.S.R. [now in Belarus]), Soviet physicist who, with Herbert Kroemer and Jack S. Kilby, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2000 for their work that laid the foundation for the modern era of computers and information technology.
Alferov received a doctorate in physics and mathematics from the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute (1970); he became director of the institute in 1987. In the 1950s he began work to develop fast optoelectronic and microelectronic components made from semiconductor heterostructures. (While most computer chips and other semiconductor components were made from one kind of material, such as silicon, heterostructure semiconductors were made from layers of different materials.) Using Kroemer’s theory, which suggested that a heterostructure transistor was superior to a conventional transistor, Alferov and his research team developed the first practical heterostructure electronic device in 1966. They then pioneered electronic components made from heterostructures, including the first heterostructure laser, which both Alferov and Kroemer had proposed independently in 1963. Heterostructure solid-state lasers made possible fibre-optic communications, and heterostructure devices were later used in communications satellites, bar-code readers, cellular telephone communications, and other products
I have, but also know you may
Surround me with your disdain.
But condoling my pitty way
You won’t abandon me alone.
At first I wanted keep my senses,
You wouldn’t hear what’s right, what’s wrong,
If I had any expectancies
To see you seldom, once a week
In our lands, to give you a quick,
Fond eye, to hear your voice and then,
Then think about “Where?”, “When?”
My dear, we will meet again.
But people say that you’re reserved
In our solitude you’re bored,
And we’re not brilliantly bright
But you are welcome days and nights.
Why have you visited that nook?
It was enough to have a look
At you to feel my poor heart
In love, if we had stood apart
My feelings would have come to end
And,I'd have met my future friend,
Who, maybe, I won’t ever stand,
But I'd be able to become
A faithful wife and a kind mum.
Another man? Oh no, I’ll never,
I’ll never love another one!
It was determined in heaven,
And if you call me, I will come
To you. For me you're only one,
Who I’ve been waiting all my life.
I know exactly you’re my Sun,
Which saves me from all the strikes.
I saw you even in my dreams,
You won my heart without seeing
Your queer stare took my being,
Your voice in soul was like scream
That time -No, I was not asleep!
I’ve noticed you’re to it concerning
I was astonished, was I burning,
How I was dreaming of friendship!
I’ve heard you, dear, did you see?
How calm it was to speak to me,
When I was helping poor men
Or praying, were you near then
To make my soul just to be
In peace, this moment, precious sight,
You was the only man who might
Appear in the limpid night
Before my hoping face inclining.
Were not that you who shed in loving
Timbre hopeful light?
Can you pretend to save from evil
My innocence or you are devil?
My world was deeply got upset,
But maybe it is self-deception
Of soul lulled with loving thread?
And there won’t be any action…
But I decided – I am yours
With tears asking for protection
Without you around the earth
There’s only lonely direction.
No one of people round mine
Can matter out what possesses
My pour flagging crazy mind
Tossing in agony of death.
I wait for you and our date
Which’ll be conclusive for my fate.
It’s over! I became so pale,
I falter with a scaring heart
But till your honor is my bail
