Referee's report by Nevill Francis Mott, on a paper 'Oriented chemical growth on single crystals of zinc and cadmium' by L N D Lucas

Reference number: RR/77/57

Date: 18 March 1952

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Paper reference code: A43

Recommends the paper should go to another referee with more experience with surface physics. Mott describes the paper as a 'rambling account of some experiments' leading to 'inconclusive results'. Suggests the paper would benefit from a summary of the results actually achieved, shortening the paper and names of possible other referees.

[Published in Proceedings A, 1952].
