Alexander Efros
Alexander Lvowitsch Efros ( Russian Александр Львович Эфрос ) is a Russian physicist . Together with Louis Brus and Aleksei Ekimov, Efros is considered to be the discoverer of semiconductor nanocrystals, known as quantum dots .
Life
Efros received his diploma as a physics engineer in 1973 from the Technical University of Leningrad , where he received his doctorate in 1978. From 1981 to 1990 he was a scientist at the Joffe Institute in Leningrad, then he went to the West. From 1990 to 1992 he was at the Technical University of Munich , from 1992 to 1993 visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and from 1993 initially as a consultant at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).
Efros is a scientist (Senior Researcher since 1999) at the Center for Computational Materials Science of the Naval Research Laboratory.
Efros received the Alexander von Humboldt Prize for his work on quantum dots and in 2006 the RW Wood Prize . In 2001 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
He should not be confused with his brother, solid state physicist Alexei Efros . While Alexander Efros as Al. L. Efros publishes, Alexei L. Efros publishes his work under the name AL Efros.
