  • The EChO science case

    • The discovery of almost two thousand exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. We see gas giants in few-day orbits, whole multi-planet systems within the orbit of Mercury, and new populations of planets with masses between that of the Earth and Neptune-all unknown in the Solar System. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representative of the general population of planets in our Milky Way. The key science questions that urgently need addressing are therefore: What are exoplanets made of? Why are planets as they are? How do planetary systems work and what causes the exceptional diversity observed as compared to the Solar System? The EChO (Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory) space mission was conceived to take up the challenge to explain this diversity in terms of formation, evolution, internal structure and planet and atmospheric composition. This requires in-depth spectroscopic knowledge of the atmospheres of a large and well-defined planet sample for which precise physical, chemical and dynamical information can be obtained. In order to fulfil this ambitious scientific program, EChO was designed as a dedicated survey mission for transit and eclipse spectroscopy capable of observing a large, diverse and well-defined planet sample within its 4-year mission lifetime. The transit and eclipse spectroscopy method, whereby the signal from the star and planet are differentiated using knowledge of the planetary ephemerides, allows us to measure atmospheric signals from the planet at levels of at least 10(-4) relative to the star. This can only be achieved in conjunction with a carefully designed stable payload and satellite platform. It is also necessary to provide broad instantaneous wavelength coverage to detect as many molecular species as possible, to probe the thermal structure of the planetary atmospheres and to correct for the contaminating effects of the stellar photosphere. This requires wavelength coverage of at least 0.55 to 11 mu m with a goal of covering from 0.4 to 16 mu m. Only modest spectral resolving power is needed, with R similar to 300 for wavelengths less than 5 mu m and R similar to 30 for wavelengths greater than this. The transit spectroscopy technique means that no spatial resolution is required. A telescope collecting area of about 1 m(2) is sufficiently large to achieve the necessary spectro-photometric precision: for the Phase A study a 1.13 m(2) telescope, diffraction limited at 3 mu m has been adopted. Placing the satellite at L2 provides a cold and stable thermal environment as well as a large field of regard to allow efficient time-critical observation of targets randomly distributed over the sky. EChO has been conceived to achieve a single goal: exoplanet spectroscopy. The spectral coverage and signal-to-noise to be achieved by EChO, thanks to its high stability and dedicated design, would be a game changer by allowing atmospheric composition to be measured with unparalleled exactness: at least a factor 10 more precise and a factor 10 to 1000 more accurate than current observations. This would enable the detection of molecular abundances three orders of magnitude lower than currently possible and a fourfold increase from the handful of molecules detected to date. Combining these data with estimates of planetary bulk compositions from accurate measurements of their radii and masses would allow degeneracies associated with planetary interior modelling to be broken, giving unique insight into the interior structure and elemental abundances of these alien worlds. EChO would allow scientists to study exoplanets both as a population and as individuals. The mission can target super-Earths, Neptune-like, and Jupiter-like planets, in the very hot to temperate zones (planet temperatures of 300-3000 K) of F to M-type host stars. The EChO core science would be delivered by a three-tier survey. The EChO Chemical Census: This is a broad survey of a few-hundred exoplanets, which allows us to explore the spectroscopic and chemical diversity of the exoplanet population as a whole. The EChO Origin: This is a deep survey of a subsample of tens of exoplanets for which significantly higher signal to noise and spectral resolution spectra can be obtained to explain the origin of the exoplanet diversity (such as formation mechanisms, chemical processes, atmospheric escape). The EChO Rosetta Stones: This is an ultra-high accuracy survey targeting a subsample of select exoplanets. These will be the bright "benchmark" cases for which a large number of measurements would be taken to explore temporal variations, and to obtain two and three dimensional spatial information on the atmospheric conditions through eclipse-mapping techniques. If EChO were launched today, the exoplanets currently observed are sufficient to provide a large and diverse sample. The Chemical Census survey would consist of > 160 exoplanets with a range of planetary sizes, temperatures, orbital parameters and stellar host properties. Additionally, over the next 10 years, several new ground- and space-based transit photometric surveys and missions will come on-line (e.g. NGTS, CHEOPS, TESS, PLATO), which will specifically focus on finding bright, nearby systems. The current rapid rate of discovery would allow the target list to be further optimised in the years prior to EChO's launch and enable the atmospheric characterisation of hundreds of planets.

  • To facilitate a fair bioeconomy transition, stronger regional-level linkages are needed
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Biofuels Bioproducts & Biorefining-Biofpr. - : Wiley. - 1932-104X .- 1932-1031. ; 16:4, s. 929-941

    • The great hopes in Brussels that a circular bioeconomy will help bridge the growing divide between urban and rural areas and allow the hinterlands to prosper from 'green growth' are addressed in this article, which reflects on insights from three Nordic case studies of brown, green and blue biomass use at different levels of technology readiness. A closer examination of the forward, backward, fiscal and final demand linkages at regional level from increased biomass utilization, from eastern Finland and northern Sweden to Jutland and North Atlantic islands, suggests that linkages are and will remain relatively weak, predominantly dashing the expectations. As suppliers and exporters of natural resources, disadvantaged regions may all too easily get locked into a 'staples trap', where the value creation evaporates owing in part to the steep start-up costs and the associated boom-and-bust cycles, which place them in a weak position vis-a-vis the resource manufacturers and consumers. To make the prospects of development, employment and prosperity in the hinterlands materialize, measures are needed to strengthen the regional-level economic linkages. Regional-level revolving funds based on benefit-sharing instruments related to natural resources can be used to bolster economic development, as reflected in such schemes present in both China and Canada. We call for further research into whether and how such approaches can be replicated successfully by channeling revenues from biomass cultivation to regional-scale revolving funds, with mandates to strengthen long-term economic linkages and prosperity within the hinterlands.

  • Identification of the hydrogen-saturated self-interstitials in silicon and germanium
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 57:18, s. 4397-4412

    • Silicon and germanium single crystals are implanted with protons. The infrared-absorption spectra of the samples contain sharp absorption lines due to the excitation of hydrogen-related local vibrational modes. The lines at 743.1, 748.0, 1986.5, and 1989.4 cm-1 in silicon and at 700.3, 705.5, 1881.8, and 1883.5 cm-1 in germanium originate from the same defect in the two materials. Measurements on samples coimplanted with protons and deuterons show that the defect contains two equivalent hydrogen atoms. Uniaxial stress measurements are carried out and a detailed analysis of the results is presented. It is shown that the defect has monoclinic-II symmetry, and the orientations of the Si-H and Ge-H bonds of the defect are determined. Ab initio local-density-functional theory is used to calculate the structure and local vibrational modes of the self-interstitial binding one and two hydrogen atoms in silicon and germanium together with the structure of the self-interstitial itself. The observed properties of the defect are in excellent agreement with those calculated for the self-interstitial binding two hydrogen atoms.

    • Infrared absorption spectroscopy is used to study H-related point defects in H+-implanted Si (Si:H) and Ge (Ge:H). The absorption lines at 743.1, 748.0, 1986.5 and 1989.4 cm-1 in Si:H and at 700.3, 705.5, 1881.8 and 1883.5 cm-1 in Ge:H are shown to originate from the same defect containing two equivalent H atoms. Uniaxial stress experiments show that the defects have monoclinic-II symmetry, and the orientations of the two Si-H or Ge-H bonds are determined. The structure and the local vibrational modes of the self-interstitial binding two H atoms (IH2) are calculated with LDF cluster theory. The symmetry, bond-orientations and isotopic frequency-shifts calculated for IH2 are in excellent agreement with those observed for the 743.1-, 748.0-, 1986.5- and 1989.4-cm-1 modes in Si:H and for the 700.3-, 705.5-, 1881.8- and 1883.5-cm-1 modes in Ge:H.

  • Substitutional carbon in Ge and Si1-xGex
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Defects in semiconductors. - : Trans Tech Publications Inc.. ; , s. 97-102
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In the present work, carbon is implanted into monocrystalline Ge and into relaxed epitaxial MBE-grown Si1-xGex. The samples are studied with infrared absorption spectroscopy along with ion-channeling studies on the Ge samples. Finally, ab-initio local density functional cluster theory is applied to calculate the structure and the local vibrational modes of substitutional carbon, Cs, in Ge. After implantation of 12C+ in Ge at room temperature and subsequent annealing at 350°C, a sharp absorption line is observed at 531 cm-1. By isotope substitution, it is concluded that the 531 cm-1 line represents a local vibrational mode of a single carbon atom. From ion-channeling measurements on samples annealed at 450°C, it is found that 31±3 % of the carbon atoms are located at substitutional sites. The population of the substitutional site and the intensity of the 531 cm-1 mode have identical annealing behavior and it is concluded that the 531 cm-1 mode is the three-dimensional T2 stretch mode of Cs in Ge. The calculated frequency and isotope shift for this mode are in good agreement with the observations. In Si0.65Ge0.35, two broad absorption lines are observed at ∼551 and ∼592 cm-1 after implantation of 12C+ and subsequent annealing at 550°C. From measurements on samples implanted with 13C+ and coimplanted with 12C+ and 13C+ we conclude that these lines represent local vibrational modes of defects containing a single carbon atom. In 13C+ implanted Si1-xGex samples that contain 15 to 50 % Ge a number of modes are observed in a frequency range from ∼510 to ∼610 cm-1, i.e., in the range of Cs in Ge and in Si. From the experimental findings it is concluded that substitutional carbon in Si1-xGex binds to both Si and Ge.

  • E center in silicon has a donor level in the band gap
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 97:10, s. 106402/1-106402/4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • It has been an accepted fact for more than 40 years that the E center in Si (the group-V impurity-vacancy pair)-one of the most studied defects in semiconductors-has only one energy level in the band gap: namely, the acceptor level at about 0.45 eV below the conduction band. We now demonstrate that it has a second level, situated in the lower half of the band gap at 0.27 eV above the valence band. The existence of this level, having a donor character, is disclosed by a combination of different transient-capacitance techniques and electronic-structure calculations. The finding seriously questions some diffusion-modeling approaches performed in the past.

  • Local vibrational modes of weakly bound O-H complexes in SI
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Defects in semiconductors. - : Trans Tech Publications Inc.. ; , s. 391-398
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Local vibrational modes of two oxygen-hydrogen complexes have been identified with infrared absorption spectroscopy. Samples of intrinsic silicon and samples doped with 16O or 18O isotopes were implanted with protons and deuterons at ∼20 K. After the implantation, infrared absorbance spectra were measured at 8 K on unannealed samples. An oxygen mode at 1077 cm-1 and a hydrogen mode at 1879 cm-1, which originate from the same defect OHI were observed in the as-implanted samples. Heat-treatment at 200 K produced a new center OHII with modes at 1028 and 1830 cm-1. OHI anneals out at ∼130 K while OHII is stable up to ∼240 K. OHI and OHII are tentatively identified with two complexes of interstitial oxygen and bond-centred hydrogen. Ab initio theory was applied to calculate the structure and local modes of three such complexes. The results qualitatively support our tentative assignments.

  • Local modes of the H2* dimer in germanium
  • 1996
  • Ingår i: Physical Review B Condensed Matter. - 0163-1829 .- 1095-3795. ; 54:8, s. 5485-5494
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Local vibrational modes of the H2* defect in crystalline germanium are identified by a combination of infrared-absorption spectroscopy, uniaxial stress measurements, and ab initio theory. Germanium crystals are implanted with protons and/or deuterons at 30 K, and subsequently annealed at room temperature. A number of local vibrational modes of hydrogen are revealed by infrared-absorption spectroscopy. In particular, modes at 765, 1499, 1774, and 1989 cm-1 originate from the same defect which has trigonal symmetry according to the uniaxial stress measurements. The 765-cm-1 mode is two dimensional, while the 1774- and 1989-cm-1 modes are one dimensional. Measurements on samples coimplanted with protons and deuterons show that the defect contains a pair of weakly coupled and inequivalent hydrogen atoms. The 765-, 1499-, 1774-, and 1989-cm-1 modes are ascribed to the H2* defect. The 765-cm-1 mode is a Ge-H bend mode with an overtone at 1499 cm-1 and the modes at 1774 and 1989 cm-1 are Ge-H stretch modes. An excellent fit to the stretch frequencies is obtained with a simple model based on two coupled Morse-potential oscillators. In addition, the model gives intensity ratios in fair agreement with those observed. The structure, the local-mode frequencies, and the isotope shifts of H2* are calculated with ab initio local-density-functional cluster theory. The theoretical frequencies are consistently 5-10 % too high, as expected from the theory which often leads to overbinding. The isotope shifts, however, are in fair agreement with observations. These results provide additional support for our assignments, and show that the 765- and 1774-cm-1 modes primarily involve the hydrogen at the antibonding site, while the 1989-cm-1 mode is related mainly to vibration of the hydrogen near the bond-center site.
