In Bird of Passage by Rudolf Peierls, we find a paragraph in which
he de scribes his Cambridge days in the 1930s: On these
relativistic field theory] problems my main contacts were Dirac,
and the younger theoreticians. These included in particular Nevill
(now Sir Nevill) Mott, perhaps the friendliest among many kind and
friendly people we met then. Professor Kamimura became associated
with Sir Rudolf Peierls in the 1950s, when he translated, with his
colleagues, Peierls's 1955 textbook, Quantum Theory of Solids, into
Japanese. This edition, to which Sir Rudolf himself contributed a
preface, benefitted early generations of Japanese solid state
physicists. Later in 1974/5, during a sabbatical year spent at the
Cavendish Laboratory, Professor Kamimura met and began a long
association with Sir Nevill Mott. In particular, they developed
ideas for disordered systems. One of the outcomes is a paper
coauthored by them on ESR-induced variable range hopping in doped
semiconductors. A series of works on disordered systems, together
with those on two-dimensional systems, have served as building
blocks for Physics of Interacting Electrons in Disordered Systems,
in the International Series of Monographs on Physics, coauthored by
Aoki and published in 1989 by the Oxford University Press. Soon
after Professor Kamimura obtained a D. Sc. in 1959 for the work on
the ligand field theory under the supervision ofMasao Kotani, his
strong con nections in the international physical community began
when he worked at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961/64."
