Yuri Petrovich Maslakovets

Yuri Petrovich Maslakowez ( Russian Юрий Петрович Маслаковец ; born August 8 ^{. Jul} / 20th August  1899 ^greg. In Urzhum , † 1967 ) was a Russian physicist and university teacher .

Life

Maslakowez was the son of the bacteriologist Pyotr Petrovich Maslakowez (1871-1933), who was a victim of the Stalin Purges in 1931 . After the October Revolution , Maslakovets worked as a laboratory assistant in the bacteriological laboratory of Sevastopol during the Russian Civil War from 1919 to 1921 .

Maslakovets studied from 1922 to 1927 at the physical - mechanical faculty of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (LPI). The subject of his thesis was cathode sputtering . In addition, he worked from 1923 in the Leningrad Physics and Technology Institute (LFTI) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) in the laboratory of Alexander Alexejewitsch Tschernyschows . 1927–1928 he was seconded to the 1st Physics Institute of the University of Göttingen . He then returned to Chernyshev's laboratory, with which he moved to the Institute of Electrophysics (LEFI) in 1931. He also worked at the Agrophysics Institute from 1932 to 1939 .

In 1935 Maslakowez returned to the LFTI and became an aspirant with Abram Fjodorowitsch Joffe . In January 1938 he defended his candidate dissertation on the pn transition to a doctorate candidate in physical-mathematical sciences . In 1941, he built the world's first semiconductor - thermal generator , which was the starting point of a long development. After the beginning of the German-Soviet war , Maslakowez was evacuated to Kazan together with the LFTI . In 1943 he was seconded to the research institute NII-627 as laboratory manager, where control devices for artillery and aircraft were built and where he stayed until 1947. The work was part of the Soviet atomic bomb project .

In December 1949 Maslakowez defended his doctoral thesis, whereupon he received his doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences in August 1950 . In June 1952 Maslakovets was transferred to the new semiconductor laboratory of the AN-SSSR, which later became the semiconductor institute, by decision of the executive committee of the AN-SSSR.

In September 1953 Maslakowez began to work at Pyotr Ivanovich Lukirski's chair for technical electronics at the LPI as a professor . There, in 1953, a new course in semiconductor physics was set up in the USSR for the first time on the initiative of Joffes and Lukirski, which Maslakowez organized and directed. In 1958 he became head of the new chair for semiconductor physics.

Maslakovets was married to the artist Irina Vladimirovna Walter.
