Nina Alexandrovna Goryunova

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nina Alexandrovna Gorjunowa ( Russian Нина Александровна Горюнова ; born November 12 . Jul / 25. November  1916 greg. In Moscow , † 1971 ) was a Russian chemist and university lecturer .

Life

Gorjunowa studied at the chemical faculty of the University of Leningrad with graduation in 1939. During the German-Soviet war she was an employee of the Institute for Epidemiology in Khabarovsk .

In 1946 Goryunova began her work in the Leningrad Physics-Technical Institute (LFTI) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) as an aspirant . At that time, only element semiconductors were studied. With regard to applications, there has been a need to search for additional semiconductor materials. Gorjunowa studied the phase transformations of tin at low temperatures . In 1951 she defended her candidate dissertation on α-tin with a diamond structure . Based on her results, she expected that the compounds indium antimonide (InSb) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) with a (cubic) zinc blende structure ( space group F 4 3 m (space group no. 216) ) would have to show semiconductor properties. Her further experimental investigations together with Anatoly Robertowitsch usually confirmed this. In 1958 she defended her doctoral thesis on her investigations into the chemistry of semiconductors. Template: room group / 216

In 1961, Gorjunova founded the chair for semiconductor materials science at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and headed it as a professor . In 1963 Gorjunowa founded the Laboratory for Physico - Chemical Semiconductor Properties, in which the first crystals of gallium arsenide and other III-V compounds were grown . This was the starting point for the rapidly expanding investigations of the III-V connections in the LFTI and then in other centers at home and abroad. Under Gorjunova's leadership, new methods of growing III-V compounds were developed. For the first time, mixed crystals of different compounds were prepared and the properties varied in a controlled manner. In doing so, she created the basis for the development and application of a new generation of semiconductor materials. She published 295 articles and supervised 45 dissertations.
