The fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) observed in pentalayer rhombohedral graphene/hexagonal boron nitride superlattices have a unique origin contrary to theoretical expectations: their non-interacting band structure is gapless, unlike…

We develop the Floquet-Bloch theory of noninteracting fermions on a periodic lattice in the presence of a constant electric field. As long as the field lies along a reciprocal lattice vector, time periodicity of the Bloch Hamiltonian is…
