Physics research did not exist in prerevolutionary Cuba. In 1962, Cuban university programs were reformed and Havana University’s School of Physics was created. Equal opportunities for women and science development were made high priorities during university reform. In the early 1960s the growth of physics research began, particularly in semiconductors. This research is reviewed, emphasizing the presence and accomplishments of the women involved. Women physicists havr authored papers regarding the first alloyed semiconductor diode in 1967; IREs and LEDs (discrete, as well as integrated digits) in the 1970s; epitaxial growth in space; and LED and IRE technology transfer to the Cuban semiconductor industry in the 1980s. Women’s current active role in solar cell research is also reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
