The detailed structure of porous Si (PS) layers formed in p-type wafers with resistivities 0.01-25 Omega cm has been investigated using reflectance, transmission, ellipsometry and photoluminescence techniques. Marked differences were observed the optical properties PS degenerate or non-degenerate these results are correlated other techniques together effective medium modelling have shown to be useful non-destructive methods for either assessment density detection unsuspected phases....

Before the mid-eighteenth century, most people lived in near-complete darkness except presence of sunlight and moonlight. Since then, provision artificial light has been revolutionised by a series innovations appliances, fuels, infrastructures institutions that have enabled growing demands economic development for to be met at dramatically lower costs: year 2000, while United Kingdom GDP per capita was 15 times its 1800 value, lighting services cost less than one three thousandth their use...

Recent efforts to promote a transition low carbon economy have been influenced by suggestions that offers challenges and might yield economic benefits comparable those of the previous industrial revolutions. This paper examines these arguments facing transition, drawing on recent thinking technological, institutional factors enabled sustained first (British) revolution, role 'general purpose technologies' in stimulating sustaining this subsequent transformation processes contributed...

The incorporation of sustainability assessment into decision-making processes is a key task for water service providers in the UK and elsewhere. This paper describes development application set criteria, which have been developed tested with project partners Romania. They will be used 'guidebook' that out framework to facilitate inclusion process. work part Sustainable Water Industry Asset Resource Decisions develop multi-criteria analysis decision support system assist assess relative...

The provision of artificial light was revolutionised by a series discontinuous innovations in lighting appliances, fuels, infrastructures and institutions during the nineteenth twentieth centuries.In Britain, real price fell dramatically (3,000-fold between 1800 2000) quality rose.Along with rises income population, these developments meant that total consumption 40,000 times greater 2000 than 1800.The paper presents estimates elasticities demand for services over past three hundred years,...

Decades of techno-economic energy policymaking and research have meant evidence from the Social Sciences Humanities (SSH)-including critical reflections on what changing a society's relation to (efficiency) even means-have been underutilised. In particular, (i) SSH too often sidelined and/or narrowly pigeonholed by policymakers, funders, other decision-makers when driving agendas, (ii) setting SSH-focused agendas has not historically embedded inclusive deliberative processes. The aim this...

This paper examines the evolution of energy use and its influences in United Kingdom over very long run by combining economic literature statistical information. The argues that provision services, mainly heat power, is bound tensions between a changing growth rate structure activity constraints energetic resources. After periods tension, price differentials, as well diffusion technological innovation development new fuels, led to mixes sources supply power. identifies three major changes...

Abstract Although, it has received relatively little attention as a potential method of combating climate change in comparison to energy reduction measures and development carbon-free technologies, sequestration carbon dioxide geologic or biospheric sinks enormous potential.
