Description

This volume contains a discriminating selection of papers with commentaries by one of the most creative theoretical physicists of our century, Nobel Laureate Sir Nevill Mott. His pioneering contributions (1928 - 1993) include Fermi liquid theory, metal-insulator transition, the theory of noncrystalline materials, high-temperature superconductivity and many other discoveries.

Table of Contents

• The solution of the wave equation for the scattering of particles by a coulombian centre of force
• the polarization of electrons by double scattering
• the resistance and thermoelectric properties of the transition metals
• energy levels in real and ideal crystals
• atomic physics and the strength of metals
• the theory of magnetism in transition metals
• polarons in transition-metal oxides
• conduction and switching in noncrystalline materials
• the Kondo effect and the highly correlated gas
• mechanisms for the oxidation of silicon and the formation of charged defects
• metals, nonmetals and metal-nonmetal transitions - some recollections
• polaron models of high-temperature superconductors. (Part Contents).
