Low Energy Order-To-Disorder Transition Pathways In Phase-Change Nanowires
… many studies claiming it to be an order-to-order transition.In this study, we attempt to further lower the current density for the crystal-amorphous transformation by multiple strategies: pre-inducing defects in the nanowire by a size-mismatched dopant, synthesizing self-assembled compositionally …

Bridging the urban energy divide: equity-focused transition pathways for sub-Saharan African cities
This thesis examines how alternative urban energy transition pathways in Sub-Saharan Africa could simultaneously address the imperatives of equitable energy access and use across different income groups, while meeting other development and sustainability goals. Through detailed analysis of six …

Investigating the molecular origin of polymorphism and transition pathways in organic semiconductors with bulky side chains
… molecular-level understanding of the polymorphic transition mechanism and pathways is needed. Although some studies attempt to uncover the molecular origin of polymorphism in molecular crystals, they are system-specific and usually exclude organic semiconductor systems. Here, we investigate the …

Modeling nuclear’s role in climate change: optimized pathways to net-zero emissions
… Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), in supporting the transition away from fossil-fueled power plants to achieve net-zero emissions. This study introduces the DICE Nuclear Deployment Model (DNDM), a novel extension of the Nordhaus Dynamic Integrated Climate Economy (DICE) model that incorporates fuzzy …

Designing for Fluid Transitions to Sustainable Infrastructure: The Case of the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway
The need for transitions to more sustainable socio-technical systems that underpin everyday life has never been more prescient. However, such transitions are daunting and difficult. Design initiates change in artefacts and therefore has an important role to play in transitions to more sustainable …

A Social Logic of Energy: A data science approach to understanding and modelling energy transitions of India’s urban poor
… clean cooking fuel use. Interventions to promote transition to clean cooking often focus on cost and technology, informed by an economic-technical view of energy transition, but not all households benefit as expected from these interventions. Previous studies on socio-economic determinants of …

Electrochemically driven phase transformation in energy storage compounds
Nanoscale lithium transition metal phosphate olivines have become commercially important as positive electrode materials in a new generation of lithium-ion batteries. Not surprisingly, many energy storage compounds undergo phase transitions in-situ, including the production of metastable phases. …

Transitions in Motion: Accelerating Active Travel Infrastructure in London through Grassroots Groups and Activist Researchers
Active transport plans and infrastructure transition plays a key role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and various health issues faced in London, yet has not occurred at a speed required for mitigation or even achieving stated targets and goals. While socio-technical transition research …
