Metal-insulator transitions
- N. Mott
- 1974
Research on metal–insulator transitions is at the moment quite fashionable. In many materials the electrical behavior changes from metallic to nonmetallic when the pressure, temperature or magnetic… Expand
Metal-Insulator Transition
- N. Mott
- Physics
- 1 October 1968
A general survey of the idea of the metal-nonmetal transition is given with particular emphasis to the following points: (a) is the transition of first order; (b) can one observe the transition; and… Expand
The theory of indentation and hardness tests
A discussion is given of the indentation of ductile materials by cylindrical punches with conical heads. On the experimental side, experiments have been made with work-hardened and with annealed… Expand
Fragmentation of shell cases
- N. Mott
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 1 May 1947
A theory is given of the break-up of the metal case of a cylindrical ring-bomb, in which the lines of fracture perpendicular to the axis of the bomb are predetermined. From the theory an expression… Expand
The Electrical Conductivity of Transition Metals
- N. Mott
- Materials Science
- 1 February 1936
1— In a recent paper certain property of the transition metals Ni, Pd, and Pt and of their alloys with Cu, Ag, and Au have been discussed from the point of view of the electron theory of metals based… Expand
The Scattering of Fast Electrons by Atomic Nuclei
- N. Mott
- Physics
- 4 June 1929
Section 1 .— The hypothesis that the electron has a magnetic moment was, as is well known, first introduced to account for the duplexity phenomena of atomic spectra. More recently, however, Dirac has… Expand
Explanation of the large spin-dependent recombination effect in semiconductors
- D. Kaplan, I. Solomon, N. Mott
- Physics
- 1 February 1978
Previous theories to explain the variation of photoconductivity upon saturation of electron spin resonance, as observed by Lepine in silicon, predict an effect 10 to 100 times smaller than… Expand
Three-dimensional stress distributions in hexagonal aeolotropic crystals
- H. Elliott, N. Mott
- Materials Science
- 1 October 1948
The conditions for equilibrium in an elastically stressed hexagonal aeolotropic medium (transversely isotropic) are formulated, and solutions are found in terms of two ‘harmonic’ functions o 1 , o 2… Expand
Electrons in disordered structures

Conduction in non-crystalline systems
- N. Mott
- Materials Science
- 1 June 1968
Abstract The present author (1967, 1968) has used the work of Anderson (1958) to deduce that under certain conditions the conductivity due to a degenerate gas of electrons in a disordered lattice… Expand
