Alexander Efros, also known as Alexander Lvovich Efros, is a Russian-born theoretical physicist at the United States Naval Research Laboratory who co-discovered semiconductor nanocrystals in the early 1980s.
Aubrey T Hanbicki
Aubrey T Hanbicki is an American experimental physicist who demonstrated 30% electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic contacts into semiconductors and studied transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers at the Naval Research Laboratory.
Frank Fang
Frank F. Fang (方复) is a condensed-matter physicist who spent 1960 to 1993 at IBM's Watson Research Center, pioneering two-dimensional quantum transport in silicon inversion layers.
Gerhard Dorda
Gerhard Dorda (1932–2025) was a German physicist who researched silicon MOS devices at Siemens in Munich and co-authored the 1980 paper reporting the quantum Hall effect.
Hiroyuki Sakaki
Hiroyuki Sakaki (榊裕之), born 1944, is a Japanese semiconductor physicist who conceived the quantum wire and quantum dot and is Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo.
Michael Kelly (New Zealand-born British semiconductor physicist)
Michael Kelly is a New Zealand-born British semiconductor physicist, inaugural Prince Philip Professor of Technology at Cambridge from 2002 to 2016, known for research on nanoscale device manufacturability.
Michael Pepper
Sir Michael Pepper is a British condensed-matter physicist who pioneered research on semiconductor nanostructures. He turned low-dimensional electron systems into a working laboratory for quantum physics.
Raphael Tsu
Raphael Tsu is a physicist who co-invented the semiconductor superlattice with Leo Esaki at IBM, work that founded band-structure engineering and underlies quantum cascade lasers.
Theodore Alan Fulton
Theodore Alan Fulton, born around 1941 in Washington, Iowa, is an American physicist who with Gerald Dolan first built the single-electron transistor at Bell Labs in 1987.
