R Ilan, AG Grushin, DI Pikulin - Nature Reviews Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Dirac and Weyl semimetals react to position-dependent and time-dependent perturbations,
such as strain, as if subject to emergent electromagnetic fields, known as pseudo-fields …

Floquet Weyl semimetal phases in light-irradiated higher-order topological Dirac semimetals

ZM Wang, R Wang, JH Sun, TY Chen, DH Xu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Floquet engineering, the concept of tailoring a system by a periodic drive, is increasingly
exploited to design and manipulate topological phases of matter. In this work we study …
