- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. Understanding the emergence, evolution, and transmission of individual antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is essential to develop sustainable strategies combatting this threat. Here, we use metagenomic sequencing to analyse ARGs in 757 sewage samples from 243 cities in 101 countries, collected from 2016 to 2019. We find regional patterns in resistomes, and these differ between subsets corresponding to drug classes and are partly driven by taxonomic variation. The genetic environments of 49 common ARGs are highly diverse, with most common ARGs carried by multiple distinct genomic contexts globally and sometimes on plasmids. Analysis of flanking sequence revealed ARG-specific patterns of dispersal limitation and global transmission. Our data furthermore suggest certain geographies are more prone to transmission events and should receive additional attention.

Lifshitz transition and Van Hove singularity in a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A three-dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetal is a novel state of quantum matter which has recently attracted much attention as an apparent 3D version of graphene. In this paper, we report results on the electronic structure of the 3D Dirac semimetal Na3Bi at a surface that reveals its nontrivial ground state. Our studies reveal that the two 3D Dirac cones go through a topological change in the constant energy contour as a function of the binding energy, featuring a Lifshitz point, which is missing in a strict 3D analog of graphene. Our results identify an example of a band saddle-point singularity in 3D Dirac materials. This is in contrast to its two-dimensional analogs such as graphene and the Dirac surface states of a topological insulator. The observation of multiple Dirac nodes in Na3Bi connecting via a Lifshitz point along its crystalline rotational axis away from the Kramers point serves as a decisive signature for the symmetry-protected nature of the Dirac semimetal's topological bulk ground state.

A comparative study of clean and Bi-stabilized InP(100)(2 x 4) surfaces by the core-level photoelectron spectroscopy
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The bismuth-stabilized (2 x 4)-reconstructed InP(100) surface [Bi/InP(100)(2 x 4)] has been studied by synchrotron-radiation core-level photoelectron spectroscopy. The spectra are compared with previous core-level data obtained on a clean InP(100)(2 x 4) surface. The findings support that the P 2p surface-core-level shift (SCLS) of the clean InP(100)(2 x 4), which has higher kinetic energy than the bulk emission, arises from the third-layer P atoms and that the second P 2p SCLS, which has lower kinetic energy than the bulk, arises from the top-layer P atoms. Similar In 4d SCLSs are found on the clean and Bi-stabilized InP(100)(2 x 4) surfaces, indicating that these shifts contain contributions of the In atoms that lie in the second and/or fourth layers. In addition to this, the results improve our understanding of the atomic structure of the Bi/InP(100)(2 x 4) surface and lead to refined surface models which include Bi-Bi and Bi-P dimers.

k-resolved susceptibility function of 2H-TaSe2 from angle-resolved photoemission
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics). - 1098-0121. ; 88:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The connection between the Fermi surface and charge-density-wave (CDW) order is revisited in 2H-TaSe2. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, ab initio band-structure calculations, and an accurate tight-binding model, we develop the empirical k-resolved susceptibility function, which we use to highlight states that contribute to the susceptibility for a particular q vector. We show that although the Fermi surface is involved in the peaks in the susceptibility associated with CDW order, it is not through conventional Fermi surface nesting, but rather through finite energy transitions from states located far from the Fermi level. Comparison with monolayer TaSe2 illustrates the different mechanisms that are involved in the absence of bilayer splitting.

Resonant Soft-X-Ray Emission as a Bulk Probe of Correlated Electron Behavior in Metallic SrxCa1-xVO3
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 111:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The evolution of electron correlation in SrxCa1-xVO3 has been studied using a combination of bulk-sensitive resonant soft x-ray emission spectroscopy, surface-sensitive photoemission spectroscopy, and ab initio band structure calculations. We show that the effect of electron correlation is enhanced at the surface. Strong incoherent Hubbard subbands are found to lie similar to 20% closer in energy to the coherent quasiparticle features in surface-sensitive photoemission spectroscopy measurements compared with those from bulk-sensitive resonant soft x-ray emission spectroscopy, and a similar to 10% narrowing of the overall bandwidth at the surface is also observed.

Observation of topological crystalline insulator surface states on (111)-oriented Pb1-xSnxSe films
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of the surface states on in-situ grown (111) oriented films of Pb1-xSnxSe, a three-dimensional topological crystalline insulator. We observe surface states with Dirac-like dispersion at (Gamma) over bar and (M) over bar in the surface Brillouin zone, supporting recent theoretical predictions for this family of materials. We study the parallel dispersion isotropy and Dirac-point binding energy of the surface states, and perform tight-binding calculations to support our findings. The relative simplicity of the growth technique is encouraging, and suggests a clear path for future investigations into the role of strain, vicinality, and alternative surface orientations in (Pb,Sn)Se solid solutions.

Photoemission studies of the annealing-induced modifications of Ga0.95Mn0.05As
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter and Materials Physics). - 1098-0121. ; 70:12: 125204
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using angle resolved photoemission we have investigated annealing-induced changes in Ga1-xMnxAs with x=0.05. We find that the position of the Fermi energy is a function of annealing time and temperature. It is also established that the Curie temperature is strongly correlated to the separation between the Fermi level and the valence band maximum. Valence band photoemission shows that the Mn3d spectrum is modified by the annealing treatments.

Stationary and dispersive features in resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering at the Ge 3p resonances
- 2009
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering at the 3p resonances in crystalline Ge is presented. Both stationary and dispersive features are observed in a wide energy range above as well as below the ionization limits. These observations are in agreement with theoretical predictions based on a two-step model where the initially excited electron has no influence on the emission step. Excess population of states in the conduction band is found, and discussed in terms of attosecond electron dynamics. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
