Non-equilibrium topological phenomena can be induced in quantum many-body systems
using time-periodic fields (for example, by laser or microwave illumination). This Review …

This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

We give a general overview of the high-frequency regime in periodically driven systems and
identify three distinct classes of driving protocols in which the infinite-frequency Floquet …

We study the dynamics of isolated interacting spin chains that are periodically driven by
sudden quenches. Using full exact diagonalization of finite chains, we show that these …

Recent works have demonstrated that the Floquet–Bloch bands of periodically-driven
systems feature a richer topological structure than their non-driven counterparts. The …

Ultrafast materials science promises optical control of physical properties of solids.
Continuous-wave circularly polarized laser driving was predicted to induce a light-matter …

External driving is emerging as a promising tool for exploring new phases in quantum
systems. The intrinsically nonequilibrium states that result, however, are challenging to …

We develop a theory of topological transitions in a Floquet topological insulator, using
graphene irradiated by circularly polarized light as a concrete realization. We demonstrate …

Floquet topological insulators are noninteracting quantum systems that, when driven by a
time-periodic field, are described by effective Hamiltonians whose bands carry nontrivial …

We investigate the valley-coupled transport of Dirac electrons in graphene with a uniform Y-
shaped Kekulé lattice distortion, in which the original K and K′ valleys of the pristine …
