二维拓扑Floquet系统中的二次带接触点和平带

Quadratic band touching points and flat bands in two-dimensional topological Floquet systems

Liang Du, Xiaoting Zhou, Gregory A. Fiete

摘要:

本文以kagome晶格上的最近邻跳跃模型为例,利用Floquet-Bloch理论,研究了圆偏振光和线偏振光偏振光对二维Dirac带接触点、二次带接触点和平坦带的能带结构的影响。我们发现,圆偏振光可以反转这三个带模型的顺序,而离开平带色散。我们发现在二次带接触点处,双光子和高阶过程也会打开一个小的能隙。相比之下,线性偏振光将二次带接触点分裂(分成两个狄拉克点),分裂的量仅取决于光的振幅和偏振方向,而与频率无关,并且通常使色散变为平坦带。分裂垂直于光的偏振方向。我们得到一个有效的低能量理论,捕捉这些关键结果。最后,我们计算了这个3带模型的光学电导率的频率依赖性,并分析了Floquet模式的各种带间贡献。我们的研究结果提出了在实际系统中光学控制能带结构和相互作用强度的策略。

英文摘要:

In this work we theoretically study, using Floquet-Bloch theory, the influence of circularly and linearly polarized light on two-dimensional band structures with Dirac and quadratic band touching points, and flat bands, taking the nearest neighbor hopping model on the kagome lattice as an example. We find circularly polarized light can invert the ordering of this three band model, while leaving the flat-band dispersionless. We find a small gap is also opened at the quadratic band touching point by 2-photon and higher order processes. By contrast, linearly polarized light splits the quadratic band touching point (into two Dirac points) by an amount that depends only on the amplitude and polarization direction of the light, independent of the frequency, and generally renders dispersion to the flat band. The splitting is perpendicular to the direction of the polarization of the light. We derive an effective low-energy theory that captures these key results. Finally, we compute the frequency dependence of the optical conductivity for this 3-band model and analyze the various interband contributions of the Floquet modes. Our results suggest strategies for optically controlling band structure and interaction strength in real systems.
