EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Cooper pairing in non-Fermi liquids

Max A. Metlitski, David F. Mross, Subir Sachdev, and T. Senthil

Phys. Rev. B 91, 115111 (2015) - Published 4 March, 2015

Whether the non-Fermi-liquid behavior of fermionic systems, developing in the proximity of a quantum critical point, is stable or not toward the formation of Cooper pairs is an interesting and challenging open question in the physics of strongly correlated systems. In this new and interesting contribution to the field, the authors study systems where the non-Fermi-liquid behavior arises as a result of the interaction of a gapless bosonic mode with fermions in the vicinity of the Fermi surface.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dynamics of excitons bound to nitrogen isoelectronic centers in GaAs

P. St-Jean, G. Éthier-Majcher, and S. Francoeur

Phys. Rev. B 91, 115201 (2015) - Published 9 March, 2015

The first comprehensive study is made of the exciton dynamics and spin-relaxation processes in isoelectronic centers in GaAs, single excitons bound to two nitrogen atoms. Such atomic defects may offer advantageous properties for quantum information applications over the more established quantum dots and NV centers in diamond. Time-resolved spectroscopy is coupled with a unique analytical model.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Nonlinear pulse propagation in InAs/InP quantum dot optical amplifiers: Rabi oscillations in the presence of nonresonant nonlinearities

O. Karni, A. K. Mishra, G. Eisenstein, and J. P. Reithmaier

Phys. Rev. B 91, 115304 (2015) - Published 9 March, 2015

There is interest in what happens to ultrashort light pulses propagating through a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier waveguide. In this experiment, the influence of nonresonant propagation effects, such as linear dispersion, two-phonon absorption, and Kerr-like, on the intensity and frequency profile of the pulses is shown to be strong enough that they must be included in any modeling.
