The award was shared with Philip W. Anderson and J. H. Van Vleck. In 1995, Mott visited the Loughborough University Department of Physics and presented a lecture entitled "65 Years in Physics". The University continues to host the annual Sir Nevill Mott Lecture.[12]. Personal life. Mott was married to Ruth Eleanor Horder, and had two daughters, Elizabeth and Alice. Sir Nevill Francis Mott, British physicist whose spadework for new branch of solid-state physics earned him Nobel Prize, dies at age 90; photo (M). Cambridge University named him Cavendish professor of experimental physics in 1954. He retired in 1971, but remained active there pursuing applications of his research to the production of cheap solar energy. Outside the laboratory, he was fond of photography and numismatics. Dr. Mott is survived by his wife of 65 years, Ruth Horder Mott; two daughters, Elizabeth Mott of Hartfordshire, and Alice Crampin of Milton Keynes; a sister, Joan Fitch of Cambridge, and three grandchildren.

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.
