Charge density wave and charge pump of interacting fermions in circularly shaken hexagonal optical lattices

Abstract

We analyze strong correlation effects and topological properties of interacting fermions with a Falicov-Kimball type interaction in circularly shaken hexagonal optical lattices, which can be effectively described by the Haldane-Falicov-Kimball model, using the real-space Floquet dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The Haldane model, a paradigmatic model of the Chern insulator, is experimentally relevant, because it has been realized using circularly shaken hexagonal optical lattices. We show that in the presence of staggering a charge density wave emerges, which is affected by interactions and resonant tunneling. We demonstrate that interactions smear out the edge states by introducing a finite life time of quasiparticles. Even though a general method for calculating the topological invariant of a nonequilibrium steady state is lacking, we extract the topological invariant using a Laughlin charge pump set-up. We find and attribute to the dissipations into the bath connected to every lattice site, which is intrinsic to real-space Floquet DMFT methods, that the pumped charge is not an integer even for the non-interacting case at very low reservoir temperatures. Furthermore, using the rate equation based on the Floquet-Born-Markov approximation, we calculate the charge pump from the rate equations for the non-interacting case to identify the role of the spectral properties of the bath. Starting from this approach we propose an experimental protocol for measuring quantized charge pumping.
