Frank, Charles, Sir.
Oral history interview with Sir Charles Frank, 1981 July 31.
In this interview, Charles Frank discusses his early influences for a career in physics; Oxford University, research on dielectric loss with Willis Jackson (circa 1933); Peter Debye's laboratory in Berlin (1936-1938); Guild's College of Science, Cambridge (circa 1938); Bristol University (1946-1976); research on crystal dislocations, crystal growth, crystallography; review of other important contributors to the field, inclduing Egon Orowan, Michael Polanyi, Andrew Keller, Andrew Lang, A. A. Griffith, Jacques Friedel, Karl Ziegler, Fred Seitz, Frank Read, Jack Mitchell, Bill Dash, J. M. Barker, John Galt, Conyers Herring.
(1911-1998): British theoretical physicist; best known for his work on crystal dislocations and other contributions to solid state physics, geophysics, and the theory of liquid crystals.
