一维受驱动拓扑绝缘体中的Floquet拓扑跃迁

Floquet topological transitions in a driven one-dimensional topological insulator

V. Dal Lago, M. Atala, L. E. F. Foa Torres

摘要:

聚乙炔的Su-Schrieffer-Heeger模型是一个具有非平凡边缘态的典范哈密顿量。通过使用Floquet理论,我们研究了这种一维拓扑绝缘体的光谱如何受到随时间变化的势的影响。特别是,我们的证据之间的竞争不同的光子辅助过程和未扰动的哈密顿的本地拓扑结构,以解决在不同的驱动频率所产生的拓扑结构。虽然准能谱的一些区域发展新的间隙托管Floquet边缘状态,本机间隙可以显着减少和原始的边缘状态可能会被破坏或取代新的Floquet边缘状态。我们的研究是补充Zak相位应用于Floquet波段的分析。除了作为一个简单的例子来理解驱动拓扑相的物理,我们的结果可以找到一个有前途的测试地面冷物质实验。

英文摘要:

The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of polyacetylene is a paradigmatic Hamiltonian exhibiting non-trivial edge states. By using Floquet theory we study how the spectrum of this one-dimensional topological insulator is affected by a time-dependent potential. In particular, we evidence the competition among different photon-assisted processes and the native topology of the unperturbed Hamiltonian to settle the resulting topology at different driving frequencies. While some regions of the quasienergy spectrum develop new gaps hosting Floquet edge states, the native gap can be dramatically reduced and the original edge states may be destroyed or replaced by new Floquet edge states. Our study is complemented by an analysis of Zak phase applied to the Floquet bands. Besides serving as a simple example for understanding the physics of driven topological phases, our results could find a promising test-ground in cold matter experiments.
