In this work, we theoretically investigate the light-induced topological phases and finite-size crossovers in a paradigmatic quantum spin Hall (QSH) system with high-frequency pumping optics. Taking the HgTe quantum well for an example, our…
Topological photonics provides a fundamental framework for robust manipulation of light, including directional transport and localization with built-in immunity to disorder. Combined with an optical gain, active topological cavities hold…
We consider a periodically $\delta$-kicked Haldane type Chern insulator with the kicking applied in the $\hat{z}$ direction. This is known to behave as an inversion symmetry breaking perturbation, since it introduces a time-dependent…
Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, we demonstrate that an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field can induce the Lifshitz phase transition in periodical structures described by the one-dimensional…
Nonequilibrium Floquet topological phases due to periodic driving are known to exhibit rich and interesting features with no static analogs. Various known topological invariants usually proposed to characterize static topological systems…
The impact of weak disorder and its spatial correlation on the topology of a Floquet system is not well understood so far. In this study, we investigate a model closely related to a two-dimensional Floquet system that has been realized in…
Motivated by the recent theoretical and experimental progress in implementing topological orders with photons, we analyze photonic systems with different topologies and present a scheme to probe their topological features. Specifically, we…
We analyze electron dynamics and topological properties of open double quantum dots (DQDs) driven by circularly polarized ac-magnetic fields. In particular we focus on the system symmetries which can be tuned by the ac-magnetic field.…
Nonequilibrium topological matter has been a fruitful topic of both theoretical and experimental interest. A great variety of exotic topological phases unavailable in static systems may emerge under nonequilibrium situations, often…
The concepts of topology provide a powerful tool to tailor the propagation and localization of light. While electromagnetic waves have only two polarization states, engineered degeneracies of photonic modes provide novel opportunities…
Results are presented for Floquet systems in two spatial dimensions where the Floquet driving breaks an effective time reversal symmetry. The driving protocol also induces flat bands that correspond to anomalous Floquet phases where the…
Topological photonics revolutionizes some of the traditional approaches to light propagation and manipulation, and it provides unprecedented means for developing novel photonic devices. Recently discovered higher-order topological phases go…
We investigate the chiral electronic modes at the interface between two regions of a threefold topological semimetal, which is illuminated by left and right handed elliptically polarized waves. The radiation effects on the band structure of…
We propose Floquet chiral topological superconducting systems hosting Floquet Majorana fermions, which consist of hexagonal lattices in proximity to superconductors with shining circularly polarized light. Specially for bilayer graphene…
We build Floquet-driven capactive circuit networks to realize topological states of matter in the frequency domain. We find the Floquet circuit network equations of motion to reveal a potential barrier which effectively acts as a boundary…
Known methods for transverse confinement and guidance of light can be grouped into a few basic mechanisms, the most common being metallic reflection, total internal reflection and photonic-bandgap (or Bragg) reflection. All of them…
Weyl semimetals and nodal line semimetals are characterized by linear electronic bands touching at zero-dimensional points and one-dimensional lines, respectively. Recently, it has been predicted that nodal line semimetals can be driven…
Topological insulators subject to a time-symmetry-breaking perturbation are predicted to display a magneto-electric effect that causes the electric and magnetic induction fields to mix at the material's surface. This effect induces…
The magnetization evolution of the free layer in an orthogonal spin-torque device is studied based on a macrospin model. The trajectory of magnetization vector under various conditions has shown rich nonlinear properties. The phase diagram…
The hoppings of non-interacting particles in the optical dice lattice result in the gapless dispersions in the band structure formed by the three lowest minibands. In our research, we find that once a periodic driving force is applied to…
