Sir Nevill Francis Mott (1905-1996) Nobel Prize in Physics 1977 together with Philip W. Anderson and John H. van Vleck "for their fundamental theoretical investigations of the electronic structure of magnetic and disordered systems".
Nevill Mott was a theoretical physicist - a label far too narrow and restrictive to describe his output and methods of working. His principal posts were at Bristol and Cambridge but he was the “father” of a much larger community, communicating (without the benefit of e- mail) with hundreds of scientists, theoreticians and experimentalists ...
