  Nevill Francis Mott Biography / Biography of Nevill Francis Mott History of Scientific Discovery Biography
Nevill Francis Mott was born in 1905, in Leeds, England, the first of two children of Charles Francis and Lilian Mary (Reynolds) Mott, both of whom worked for the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University under J. Thomson, who had just discovered the electron.
Mott was involved in confirming by observations with the electron microscope the existence of moving dislocations, or tiny defects, responsible for hardening in alloys.
Mott added considerably to science's knowledge of the electronic properties of amorphous (disordered) materials such as glasses, alloys and impure semiconductors, where atoms are not arranged in regular arrays.

 Sir Nevill Mott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Nevill Francis Mott was born in Leeds on 30 September 1905.
Mott’s early research at Cambridge established his reputation in the application of the new ideas of wave mechanics to collisions of atomic particles.
Mott’s appointment as Cavendish Professor inevitably led to a greater involvement in administration both in the laboratory and the university and he assumed a number of positions nationally and internationally, both within the scientific community and more widely, for example, in the field of education.

Sir Nevill Francis Mott (September 30, 1905 – August 8, 1996) was a British physicist.
He was born in Leeds and was educated at Clifton College in Bristol and St.
Mott's accomplishments include explaining theoretically the effect of light on a photographic emulsion (see latent image) and outlining the transition of substances from metallic to nonmetallic states.

 Independent, The (London): Obituary: Sir Nevill Mott
Nevill Mott's father, C.F. Mott, was a formidable director of education for the City of Liverpool, and his mother, Lilian Reynolds, was one of the earliest lady mathematicians.
Mott outlined his views on the mechanism of shrinkage by which university departments which had been important in previous decades were less so than the emerging multidisciplinary sciences and new topics such as molecular biology.
Until his ninth decade Mott gave the impression to his friends that while he always had time for them he never wasted a minute in the pursuit of anything that was less than worthwhile and serious.

 Mott, Sir Nevill F.
Mott earned bachelor's (1927) and master's (1930) degrees at the University of Cambridge.
In 1938 Mott devised the theoretical description of the effect that light has on a photographic emulsion at the atomic level.
Mott's studies of electrical conduction in various metals led him in the 1960s to explore the conductivity potential of amorphous materials, which are so called because their atomic structures are irregular or unstructured.
