What device's development was Alferov associated with?
Telescope
Transistor
Battery
Semiconductor Heterojunction
Answer
The development of semiconductor heterostructures, also known as semiconductor heterojunctions, is widely associated with the pioneering contributions of Zhores Ivanovich Alferov, a prominent Russian physicist and Nobel laureate. These heterostructures involve the integration of different semiconductor materials with varying bandgap energies, leading to the formation of junctions or interfaces between these materials.
