RAPID COMMUNICATION

Realization of a single-Cooper-pair Josephson laser

Fei Chen, Juliang Li, A. D. Armour, E. Brahimi, Joel Stettenheim, A. J. Sirois, R. W. Simmonds, M. P. Blencowe, and A. J. Rimberg

Phys. Rev. B 90, 020506(R) (2014) - Published 22 July, 2014

The authors couple a microwave cavity to a voltage-biased Cooper-pair transistor, which emits photons at the Josephson frequency $\frac{2 e V}{ħ}$ . If that frequency matches the cavity frequency, photons build up in it, which in turn creates back-action on the Cooper-pair transistor leading to stimulated rather than spontaneous tunneling.

Anomalous topological pumps and fractional Josephson effects

Fan Zhang and C. L. Kane

Phys. Rev. B 90, 020501(R) (2014) - Published 8 July, 2014

The authors reveal subtle features in the topological classification of a general class of Hamiltonians, which in turn leads to the discovery of three distinct fractional Josephson effects for superconductors with time-reversal symmetry.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

X phase of ${MnWO}_{4}$

I. Urcelay-Olabarria, E. Ressouche, A. A. Mukhin, V. Yu. Ivanov, A. M. Kadomtseva, Yu. F. Popov, G. P. Vorob'ev, A. M. Balbashov, J. L. García-Muñoz, and V. Skumryev

Phys. Rev. B 90, 024408 (2014) - Published 15 July, 2014

MnWO $_{4}$ is a multiferroic material with spontaneous electric polarization induced by spiral magnetic order. One of its puzzling properties is the so called “X phase” that appears at applied magnetic fields above 10 Tesla and in a narrow temperature range at about 10 Kelvin. The phase transition from the low-field incommensurate magnetic cycloid phase into the X phase is characterized by a switch of the direction in the polarization. In this article a collaboration of authors from Spain, France, and Russia study the X-phase using neutron diffraction and determine its magnetic structure and the nature of the unusual polarization flop.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Toroidal order in metals without local inversion symmetry

Satoru Hayami, Hiroaki Kusunose, and Yukitoshi Motome

Phys. Rev. B 90, 024432 (2014) - Published 31 July, 2014

The hallmark of the toroidal order $T$ in solids is the presence of the cross-coupling term $T \cdot (H \times E)$ in the free energy of the system that leads to antisymmetric magneto-electric effect. In the last several years toroidal order has attracted interest in connection with multiferroic insulating materials. The authors of this manuscript show that such an exotic order can occur even in metallic systems on lattice structures where the spatial-inversion symmetry is preserved globally but broken intrinsically at each magnetic site. They suggest a uranium compound UNi $_{4}$ B as a candidate material where such a state can be realized.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Simple Bayesian method for improved analysis of quasi-two-dimensional scattering data

Alexander T. Holmes

Phys. Rev. B 90, 024514 (2014) - Published 16 July, 2014

The author describes a new algorithm, based on Bayesian principles, for the analysis of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data. This work represents a significant improvement over existing methods, and it is expected to have a broad range of applicability going beyond the SANS community.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Limiting mechanism for critical current in topologically frustrated Josephson junctions

Sarah B. Etter, Hirono Kaneyasu, Matthias Ossadnik, and Manfred Sigrist

Phys. Rev. B 90, 024515 (2014) - Published 18 July, 2014

The authors offer an explanation for nonstandard behavior observed in Pb/Ru/Sr $_{2}$ RuO $_{4}$ Josephson junctions in terms of frustration arising from the topologically nontrivial order parameter, if one considers Sr $_{2}$ RuO $_{4}$ as a chiral $p$ -wave superconductor.
