The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Letter to Nevill Francis Mott, from Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins, regarding a paper 'Short period phosphorescence and electron traps' by G F J Garlick and Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins

Reference number: RR/68/308

Date: 09 November 1942

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

The paper was presented in three parts so that each part was the average length of a paper in the Proceedings. Is willing to leave out part three, which is less conclusive than the others. Suggest they are willing to rewrite the first two parts into a single paper, or as two papers. Asks if Alfred Charles Gly Egerton has a preference. Could published only part two, but this would be unsatisfactory.

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London']
