Quasi-energy spectra of graphene dots under intense ac field: field anisotropy and photon dressed quantum rings

arXiv:0903.3275 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.79.205406

Abstract

A graphene quantum dot under intense ac field and static low magnetic field is investigated. From a tight-binding perspective, applying a Fourier-Floquet transformation and renormalization process, we observe that graphene -intrinsically anisotropic- reveals field polarization signatures in the quasi-density of states. For the ac field polarized along the armchair direction, the dressed electronic structure shows an emergent property: an ac field induced quantum ring. This is inferred by the orientation-dependent formation of a miniband of energy states periodically modulated with increasing magnetic field, exactly analogous to the behavior of a quantum ring spectrum.
