Profession:
(1905-1996) English physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1977
Year of Birth: 1905
Nevill Francis Mott was a British physicist who was born on September 30, 1905, in Leeds, England. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge in 1929, where he later became a professor. Mott made significant contributions to the field of solid-state physics, particularly in the areas of electrical conduction in metals and the properties of disordered materials.
During World War II, Mott worked on developing radar technology as part of the British war effort. After the war, he continued his research in solid-state physics and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1977, alongside John van Vleck and Philip W. Anderson, for their work on the theory of the structure of glass and magnetic properties of amorphous materials.
Mott was known for his theoretical work on the interactions between electrons in solids, which helped to explain phenomena such as electrical resistance and magnetism. He also made significant contributions to the field of semiconductors and superconductors, laying the groundwork for many technological advancements in these areas.
In addition to his research, Mott was a passionate advocate for science education and public engagement with scientific issues. He was knighted in 1962 for his contributions to physics and served as the President of the Physical Society from 1965 to 1967.
Nevill Francis Mott passed away on August 8, 1996, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the field of solid-state physics and a reputation as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century.
