OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF F.C. FRANK Frederick Charles Frank was born in Durban, South Africa, in 1911. His parents returned to the U.K. very shortly after his birth. Frank was educated at Thetford Grammar School and Ipswich School before gaining scholarships to Lincoln College Oxford in 1929 to read Chemistry. He took B.A. with first class honours in 1932 and received his B.Sc. a year N.V. Sidgwick with O. 7] Moullin at the organic materials with W. dielectric loss under P. Debye. research on phenyl-nitro-methane under (later Lord) Jackson under E.B. Frank went on to research for his D.Phil. on dielectric loss in On his return to Britain Frank won an 1851 Senior Studentship to study at E.K. Rideal’s Colloid Science Laboratory Cambridge but his dielectric Oxford Engineering Science Laboratory, following which he spent 1936-38 at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fur Physik, Berlin-Dahlem, continuing his study of marriage to Maia Maita Asche, the daughter of Professor B.M.

Cabrera was to demonstrate the crystals. the growth of Apart from crystal defects Frank's wide-ranging research interests role dislocations play in His work with Burton and at Bristol included the mechanical properties of polymers, the theory of liquid crystals and the mechanics of the interior of the Earth. Frank was appointed Reader in 1951, Melville Wills Professor in 1954 and Henry Overton Wills Professor and Director of the H.H. Wills Physics Laboratory in 1969. Appointment as Professor Emeritus upon reaching official retirement age in 1976 enabled Frank to continue with his research. Among the many honours accorded to Frank were the OBE in 1946, the Royal Society in 1954 and the conferral of a Frank was given Honorary Degrees by the universities of election to Fellowship of Knighthood in 1977.

Biographical, The material Section A, the List of Contents. the NCUACS 15/8/89 F.c. Frank Section B, Bristol University, is chiefly Departmental and University administrative papers and related correspondence. Frank's service with the Colston Research Society is documented as is his contribution to the establishment of the Tyndall Memorial Lectures. The organisation of Frank's research and its funding through the Solid State Physics Fund, and his teaching duties are also represented. Section C, Research, documents Frank’s scientific research from the early 1930s. The material, principally manuscript notes, drafts, calculations and diagrams, covers a wide range of Frank's scientific interests including dielectric loss, crystal dislocations, properties of polymers, liquid crystals and geophysics. Wartime research is also represented in the section, particularly work on rockets. section D, Publications,.. 6rings =. togethers notes, drants’ correspondence and other related material for Frank’s published work, 1935- 88. This material has been linked wherever possible to Frank's numbered list of publications which is reproduced as pp.224-235 of the present catalogue. There is also an extensive sequence of editorial correspondence with publishing houses, learned societies and journals for which Frank acted as collection.

The material is mainly drafts for Frank's lectures and broadcasts (chiefly for international organisations including the Faraday Society, the Institute of Committee which oversaw De Beers-funded diamond research in UK universities Frank's extensive work for De Beers for whom he served on the Diamond Research School, the Bristol Municipal Charities and Queen Elizabeth's Hospital school. involved with a number of local, Bristol institutions including Badminton Section G, Consultancies, comprises material relating to Frank's work for commercial organisations undertaken 1949-86. The best documented is NCUACS 15/8/89 F.C. Frank and which organised the Diamond Research Conferences. A short consultancy with British Rail, whom he advised on water-softening 1949-51, is well documented and consultancies with General Electric and IBM are also represented. Section H, Visits and Conferences, presents a chronological sequence, 1939-87, of some of Frank's many engagements, both at home and abroad. He made many trips to the U.S.A, frequently in conjunction with a summer consultancy, and served as Visiting Professor at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, La Jolla, California 1964-65. In 1979-80 he visited India as Raman Research Professor. Section J, Correspondence, is a substantial section which includes several extended exchanges with friends, colleagues and former students. Among the correspondents are N. Cabrera, J.D. Eshelby, R.V. Jones and F.R.N. Nabarro. Section K, References and Appointments, includes material for Frank's service as External Examiner for the universities of Aberdeen and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and correspondence and papers relating to his work as This material is subject to restricted access.

While some entries are relatively slight, dealing with membership, invitations to meetings and the like, others are more substantial both in their time-span and in the matters covered. Of particular importance is the material 1 on the Institute of Physics, the International Organisation of Crystal Growth, the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, the Royal Society and the Science Research Council.
