Nanoscale thermal transport through solid-solid and solid-liquid interfaces
… investigation of heat transport through solid- solid and solid-liquid interfaces. Heat transport is a process initiated by the presence of a thermal gradient. All interfaces offer resistance to heat flow in the form of temperature drop at the interface. In micro and nano scale devices, …

Experimental investigations of solid-solid thermal interface conductance
… the thermal interface conductance between solid materials. Two experimental studies of thermal interface conductance are presented, each revealing the complexity of phonon interactions at interfaces which are inadequately captured by current models of phonon transmissivity. The first study …

Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
The use of solid-solid reactions in the development of one-, two-, and three dimensional Cu(I) coordination networks are discussed. The solid-solid reactions were monitored by a variety of instrumental techniques to achieve a better picture of the solid-solid reaction mechanism. The crystalline …

Dopant effects on solid-solid transitions in atomic clusters
… examines the effect of a single dopant on the solid-solid transitions of LJ clusters characterised by a double-funnel energy landscape. The incorporation of a dopant atom into LJ38 or LJ31 offers a tunable change in the transition temperature between two competing solid states by influencing …

On an Order-Parameter Model of Solid-Solid Phase Transitions
We examine a model of solid-solid phase transitions that includes thermo-elastic effects and an order parameter. The model is derived as a special case of the Gurtin-Fried model posed in one space dimension with a symmetric triple-well free energy in which the relative heights of the wells vary …

A blurred interface formulation of The Reference Map Technique for Fluid-Solid Interactions and Fluid-Solid-Solid Interactions
… we present a blurred interface method for Fluid-Solid Interactions (FSI) and multiple solids immersed in a fluid or FSSI (Fluid-Solid-Solid Interactions) based on the reference map technique as presented by Kamrin and Rycroft. I will follow the chain of thought which lead from the initial sharp …

Between solid and void
… Rather than using it and it's relationship to solids to create a harmony and balance of form, void has been unconsciously disregarded as a virtual nonelement in design. This thesis attempts to bring a tangible character to the void; to design the void as if it were a solid form. In doing so, …
