- MnAs has been grown by means of MBE on the GaN(000 (1) over bar)-(1x1) surface. Two options of initiating the crystal growth were applied: (a) a regular MBE procedure (manganese and arsenic were delivered simultaneously) and (b) subsequent deposition of manganese and arsenic layers. It was shown that spontaneous formation of MnAs dots with the surface density of 1x10(11) cm(-2) and 2.5x10(11) cm(-2), respectively (as observed by atomic force microscopy), occurred for the layer thickness higher than 5 ML. Electronic structure of the MnAs/GaN systems was studied by resonant photoemission spectroscopy. That led to determination of the Mn 3d-related contribution to the total density of states distribution of MnAs. It has been proven that the electronic structures of the MnAs dots grown by the two procedures differ markedly. One corresponds to metallic, ferromagnetic NiAs-type MnAs, the other is similar to that reported for half-metallic zinc-blende MnAs. Both systems behave superparamagnetically (as revealed by magnetization measurements), but with both the blocking temperatures and the intradot Curie temperatures substantially different. The intradot Curie temperature is about 260 K for the former system while markedly higher than room temperature for the latter one. Relations between growth process, electronic structure, and other properties of the studied systems are discussed. Possible mechanisms of half-metallic MnAs formation on GaN are considered.

Homogeneous and heterogeneous magnetism in (Zn,Co)O : From a random antiferromagnet to a dipolar superferromagnet by changing the growth temperature

- A series of (Zn,Co)O layers with Co contents x up to 40% grown by atomic layer deposition have been investigated. All structures deposited at 160 degrees C show magnetic properties specific to II-VI dilute magnetic semiconductors with localized spins S = 3/2 coupled by strong but short-range antiferromagnetic interactions resulting in low-temperature spin-glass freezing for x = 0.16 and 0.4. At higher growth temperature (200 degrees C) metallic Co nanocrystals precipitate in two locations giving rise to two different magnetic responses: (i) a superparamagnetic contribution coming from volume disperse nanocrystals; (ii) a ferromagneticlike behavior brought about by nanocrystals residing at the (Zn,Co)O/substrate interface. It is shown that the dipolar coupling within the interfacial two-dimensional dense dispersion of nanocrystals is responsible for the ferromagneticlike behavior.

- Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in 2020 within the cosmic vision 2015–2025 program. The main goal of Euclid is to understand the origin of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Euclid will explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and red-shifts of galaxies as well as the distribution of clusters of galaxies over a large fraction of the sky. Although the main driver for Euclid is the nature of dark energy, Euclid science covers a vast range of topics, from cosmology to galaxy evolution to planetary research. In this review we focus on cosmology and fundamental physics, with a strong emphasis on science beyond the current standard models. We discuss five broad topics: dark energy and modified gravity, dark matter, initial conditions, basic assumptions and questions of methodology in the data analysis. This review has been planned and carried out within Euclid’s Theory Working Group and is meant to provide a guide to the scientific themes that will underlie the activity of the group during the preparation of the Euclid mission.

Comparison of Einstein-Boltzmann solvers for testing general relativity

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We compare Einstein-Boltzmann solvers that include modifications to general relativity and find that, for a wide range of models and parameters, they agree to a high level of precision. We look at three general purpose codes that primarily model general scalar-tensor theories, three codes that model Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) gravity, a code that models f(R) gravity, a code that models covariant Galileons, a code that models Horava-Lifschitz gravity, and two codes that model nonlocal models of gravity. Comparing predictions of the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background and the power spectrum of dark matter for a suite of different models, we find agreement at the subpercent level. This means that this suite of Einstein-Boltzmann solvers is now sufficiently accurate for precision constraints on cosmological and gravitational parameters.

- We present results of a resonant photoemission study of (Zn,Co)O films with Co content between 2% and 7%. The films were grown by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) at low temperature of 160 degrees C and show fully paramagnetic behavior. The Co ions are uniformly distributed in the ZnO matrix and are free of foreign phases and metal accumulations as indicated by TEM data. The electronic structure of (Zn,Co)O films was studied by Resonant Photoemission Spectroscopy across the Co3p-Co3d photoionization threshold. We have observed that the resonant enhancement of the photoemission intensity from the Co3d shell is not the same for samples with different cobalt content. We suggest that the Co3d contribution to the valence band depends on both Co and H content. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

- MnAs layer has been grown by means of MBE on the GaN(000 (1) under bar)-(1 x 1) surface. Spontaneous formation of MnAs grains with a diameter of 30-60 nm (as observed by atomic force microscopy) occurred for the layer thickness bigger than 7 ML. Ferromagnetic properties of the layer with Curie temperature higher than 330 K were detected by SQUID measurements. Electronic structure of the system was investigated in situ by resonant photoemission spectroscopy for MnAs layer thickness of 1, 2, and 8 ML. Density of the valence band states of MnAs and its changes due to the increase in the layer thickness were revealed.

Perspectives on adaptive dynamical systems

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Adaptivity is a dynamical feature that is omnipresent in nature, socio-economics, and technology. For example, adaptive couplings appear in various real-world systems, such as the power grid, social, and neural networks, and they form the backbone of closed-loop control strategies and machine learning algorithms. In this article, we provide an interdisciplinary perspective on adaptive systems. We reflect on the notion and terminology of adaptivity in different disciplines and discuss which role adaptivity plays for various fields. We highlight common open challenges and give perspectives on future research directions, looking to inspire interdisciplinary approaches.
