About this event
In 1995 Sir Nevill Mott visited the Department of Physics and presented a lecture entitled '65 Years in Physics'. The lecture was a great success, and Sir Nevill kindly permitted his name to be associated with an annual lecture series to be given by distinguished invited speakers.
The 2025 Sir Nevill Mott Lecture will be held by Professor Claudia Felser.
Max Planck Institute, Dresden entitled 'Chirality and Topology'.
Chirality - when an object or molecule can't be superimposed on its mirror image- is a key concept in chemistry, especially for designing drugs. Meanwhile, topology, a branch of mathematics, is now essential in describing how electrons behave in materials. In this Mott lecture, Professor Felser will be describing a new class of materials, called chiral topological crystals, that combines aspects of both chirality and topology
