Overview of career. Late 1940s research work at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, on the anomalous skin effect in metals. Interactions with Morrel Cohen, Paul Marcus, Ernst H. Sondheimer and David Shoenberg. Work on Fermi surface of copper. Institute for the Study of Metals at the University of Chicago, 1955-1956. Interactions with Ilya M. Lifshitz group at Kharkov (USSR). Cavendish Lab work by Shoenberg's group on de Haas-van Alphen effect. Development of pseudo-potential idea. Work on ultrasonic attenuation in normal metals and on magnetic breakdown.
