Abstract

The life and the scientific career of V.Ye. Lashkaryov – an outstanding Ukrainian scientist of the 20th century and the founder of the Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine – are described. In 1941, he published the first article in the world literature devoted to the p-n junction in Cu2O. The consideration is mainly focused on the specific features of his research manner, his role in the education and training of a new generation of Ukrainian physicists, and on his personality as a scientist.
