Mott's spin-bipolaron scenario for the cuprate superconductors: pair binding, spin-flip-limited diffusion, crossover, disorder, and preformed pairs above $T_{\mathrm{c}}$
Quantitative theory of the conductivity change on melting for the abnormal semimetallic metals bismuth, gallium and antimony
Emergence of fatigue crack-initiation life statistics from dislocation dynamics: the surviving open core of Mott's 1955 theory of fracture and fatigue
Defect-mediated viscous flow in vitreous silicon dioxide: flow-defect energetics, the $10^7$ entropic prefactor, and purity-dependent mechanism crossover
Charged species in the thermal oxidation of silicon: the surviving open cores of Mott's 1981 questions — the mobile charged species under electron-available oxidation conditions and the charged centres in as-grown thermal SiO2
Schottky-barrier formation and transport at inhomogeneous metal-semiconductor contacts: the surviving open problem descended from Mott's 1939 crystal-rectifier theory
Quantitative theory of electrical conduction in transition metals: the critical-region magnetoresistance of nickel and the Cu-Ni (constantan) resistance maximum left open by Mott's 1936 two-band model
Behavior of the Hall coefficient and thermopower across the Anderson metal-insulator transition (the unresolved questions of Mott, Pepper, Pollitt, Wallis and Adkins, 1975)
Quantitative conditions for discontinuous versus continuous metal-insulator transitions in disordered and non-crystalline systems (Mott, 1978)
First-principles completion of Mott's 1936 s-d scattering theory for the resistivity and thermopower of transition metals, their alloys, and their ferromagnets
Mott's open questions from "Electrons in Glass" (1977): mobility edges in realistic amorphous networks, correlations in variable-range hopping, the minimum metallic conductivity, and the mechanism of Ovshinsky threshold switching
