OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF SIR WILLIAM MITCHELL Edgar William (Bill) John Mitchell was born on 25 September 1925 in Kingsbridge, South Devon. He was educated at the local grammar school and Sheffield University where he studied for a degree in physics (awarded 1946). He was employed in the Metropolitan-Vickers Research Laboratory between 1946-1951 during which time he successfully studied for a Ph.D. at the University of Bristol. He was then appointed to a lectureship in the Department of Physics at Reading University where he developed a research programme studying defects in crystalline solids, such as semiconductors, quartz and diamond. In 1957 Mitchell's first neutron scattering experiment, using the BEPO (British Experimental Pile ‘O’) reactor at Harwell, showed that neutron scattering could be used to determine the properties of defects in solids, and thus opened up a new field. in 1961 he was appointed Professor of Physical Properties of Materials. He subsequently became Head of the Physics Department, 1968-1978, Dean of the Faculty of Science, 1966-1969, and Deputy years. When the government rejected the proposal to build a British high flux beam reactor in favour Vice-Chancellor, 1976-1978. In the national field he served as Chairman of the Physics Committee of His managerial and administrative abilities were demonstrated both at Reading and nationally. In the nuclear reactors at Harwell and Aldermaston. Mitchell served as its chairman for the first eight 1960 he set up a novel interdisciplinary course at Reading on the physical properties of materials and Research Committee (NBRC) with responsibility for the funding and organisation of university users of member of the planning group, 1978-1985. heavily involved in the successful negotiations for Britain to join, and served as acting joint director in 1973 and member of the scientific council, 1973-1980. In 1974 the NBRC set up the Neutron Beam approval was given to convert the old Nimrod accelerator into SNS, Spallation Neutron Source, of joining a similar Franco-German project at Grenoble (Institut Laue-Langevin), Mitchell became the Science Research Council (SRC), 1967-1970. In 1966 the SRC set up the Neutron Beam Unit at the Rutherford Laboratory, Oxfordshire to support university users of neutrons. In 1977 subsequently renamed ISIS. Mitchell was an initiator and strong supporter of the project, and was a E.W.J. Mitchell NCUACS 160/3/08 In 1978 Mitchell was appointed Dr Lee’s Professor of Experimental Philosophy at Oxford University and to a Fellowship at Wadham College. As head of the Clarendon Laboratory he initiated research in various aspects of laser and condensed matter physics and developed his own interests in the properties of molten salts and diamonds. He continued to be active on national and international committees, most importantly as a member of the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), 1982-1990 and chairman, 1985-1990. The most significant development of his chairmanship was probably the introduction of interdisciplinary research centres in universities to concentrate research funding in key areas such as materials science and electronics, while the most publicly controversial issue was the moving of the Royal Greenwich Observatory at Herstmonceux, Sussex. As a sympathetic European committed to international collaboration, he was a very appropriate choice for the Presidency of the CERN Council at a time of important decisions about its future programme, 1991-1993. Mitchell's distinguished career was recognised by many honours including a CBE 1976 and knighthood 1990. He was elected FRS in 1986 and received honorary degrees from Reading, Kent, Budapest and Birmingham Universities and the Officer's Cross of the German Order of Merit. He died on 30 October 2002. For a fuller account of Mitchell’s career see the memoir by R.A. Cowley in Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, vol. 50 (2004), 173-181. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION the Royal Society in 1986 and his knighthood in 1990. on radio at the University of Sheffield, the earliest item in the archive, papers relating to his application and appointment as Dr Lee's Professor of Experimental Philosophy at Oxford in 1978, his election to The papers in the collection cover the period 1944-2002. They are arranged in ten sections. career, honours and awards. There is a notebook from 1944 with a record of undergraduate lectures Section A, Biographical, includes obituaries, curricula vitae and bibliographies, and documentation of Option Structures & Dynamics’ 1983. Mitchell seems to have taken over on his move to Oxford from Reading in 1978; and ‘Solid State Section C, University of Oxford, relates entirely to teaching: the ‘Optics II’ lecture course, which Section B, University of Reading, chiefly relates to physics teaching, both undergraduate and postgraduate, 1965-1977. There are also a small number of papers relating to university development in the 1970s. E.W.J. Mitchell NCUACS 160/3/08 Section D, Research: general, though small, covers an extended period 1950-1996. There is a copy of Mitchell’s PhD thesis 'Some Contact Potential Measurements on Metals and Semi-Conductors' submitted to the University of Bristol 1950; manuscript notes, drafts and offprints relating to molten salts, c.1972-1980, and a little research correspondence, 1966-1996, including an exchange with C.A. Coulson on energy values in interstitials and vacancies, 1966. Section E, Research: diamond, is by far the most substantial in the archive. It presents documentation of diamond research at Reading and, much more extensively, the Clarendon Laboratory Oxford, 1960-1996 and Mitchell's long association with De Beers as Consultant and from 1982 Chairman of the Diamond Research Committee, the liaison committee between groups of scientists in UK universities and De Beers Industrial Diamond Division (DEBID), which sponsored the research. The papers include correspondence between Mitchell and DEBID and Mitchell and British and South African scientists undertaking diamond research, agenda and minutes of meetings, budgets, Diamond Conference papers, research reports and research proposals. Section F, Publications, comprises documentation of both Mitchell’s own publications and of his editorial work. There are drafts of Mitchell’s publications, 1974-1997, including scientific papers in the areas of neutron scattering and molten salts. However, the most extensive documentation relates to sent copies of the article. There is also an incomplete set of offprints of Mitchell’s scientific papers, Oxford University Press’s Series on Neutron Scattering in Condensed Matter, 1987-1996. Beers in 1999. Section G, Lectures and broadcasts, covers the period 1966-1999. The two earliest items are talks by Mitchell on the science of materials for the BBC Radio programme Science Survey. Lecture topics include diamond, molten salts, neutron scattering, science funding and policy, and global climate. the then current climate change discussion. In addition to drafts, proofs and published version of the Major addresses on diamond include a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution in 1988 and 1949-1995. Mitchell's editorial work is represented by a good record of his role as general editor of article, there is correspondence with readers of the article and scientists and others to whom Mitchell ‘Fifty Years of University / Industry Collaboration’ at the 50th Diamond Conference sponsored by De a short piece published in Physics World in 1991 in which Mitchell took a sceptical view of much of (SEPP), 1991-1997, and United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Harwell, 1973-1978. The CERN documenting Mitchell's Presidency of the CERN Council in the early 1990s, his long association with the Science Research Council (SRC) / Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) including Section H, Societies and organisations, is substantial, documenting Mitchell’s association with 15 British and international, chiefly European, organisations. Of particular importance are the papers Mitchell’s Chairmanship of the SERC, 1985-1990, the Science and Environmental Policy Project E.W.J. Mitchell NCUACS 160/3/08 papers document the President of the Council's role in relations with individual member countries and in such issues as the US proposal for a Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) and CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proposal. In addition to documentation of his SERC Chairmanship there are papers relating to the provision of neutron research facilities in Britain including papers of the Neutron Beam Research Unit, Rutherford Laboratory, the SRC Neutron Beam Committee, Rutherford Laboratory Proton Spallation Neutron Source Working Group and the SRC Science Planning Group for Spallation Neutron Source. The SEPP papers are principally Mitchell's correspondence with its director S. Fred Singer and background material sent to him for information. Mitchell was contacted by Singer after the publication of Mitchell's 1991 article in Physics World (see section F). The UK AERE Harwell material includes papers relating to neutron beam facilities, the ‘New Harwell LINAC’ project and nuclear fusion. Section J, Visits and conferences, is very slight. Most of the visits documented are late and relate to his interest in climate change controversy. A number of visits to South Africa in connexion with diamond research and De Beers are to be found in Section E. Visits made in connexion with Mitchell's Presidency of the CERN Council and his Chairmanship of the SERC are to be found in Section H.
