Lancaster University is a public research university in Lancaster,Lancashire,England. The university was established in 1964 by royal charter,as one of several new universities created in the 1960s.
Sir Nevill Francis Mott was a British physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1977 for his work on the electronic structure of magnetic and disordered systems,especially amorphous semiconductors. The award was shared with Philip W. Anderson and J. H. Van Vleck. The three had conducted loosely related research. Mott and Anderson clarified the reasons why magnetic or amorphous materials can sometimes be metallic and sometimes insulating.
Edwin Guest FRS was an English antiquary.

John Michael Kosterlitz is a Scottish-American physicist. He is a professor of physics at Brown University and the son of biochemist Hans Kosterlitz. He was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in physics along with David Thouless and Duncan Haldane for work on condensed matter physics.
Gonville and Caius College,often referred to simply as Caius,is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge,England. Founded in 1348 by Edmund Gonville,it is the fourth-oldest of the University of Cambridge's 31 colleges and one of the wealthiest. In 1557,it was refounded by John Caius,an alumnus and English physician.
The Nevill Mott Medal and Prize is an award presented in selected years by the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom,for distinguished research in condensed matter or materials physics. It was first established in 1997 thanks to a donation from Sir Nevill Mott's family. Sir Nevill Mott was one of the outstanding British condensed matter theorists and won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1977. He died in 1996. The award consists of a silver medal and a prize of £1000.
