As far as the Mössbauer was concerned it was a lively group with people from not only our own group but overseas which came here, particularly from Japan, from New Zealand, Australia, India there were several coming from, American. There was a large group of people.

Norman Greenwood (1925-2012) was born in Australia and graduated from Melbourne University before going to Cambridge. His wide-ranging research in inorganic and structural chemistry made major advances in the chemistry of boron hydrides and other main-group element compounds. He also pioneered the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to problems in chemistry. He was a prolific writer and inspirational lecturer on chemical and educational themes, and held numerous visiting professorships throughout the world.
