Crossover of spin Hall to quantum anomalous Hall effect in PbC/MnSe heterostructures

Abstract

In this paper, we study topological properties and Hall conductivities in PbC/MnSe heterostructure under the illumination of a circularly polarized light. At high frequency regime, energy gap, Chern numbers, and Hall conductivities are studied based on the Floquet theory and Green's function formalism, respectively. The interplay between spin orbit coupling and light leads to topological phase transition between anomalous Hall states and spin Hall states, which is related to the emission and absorption of two virtual photons. The anomalous Hall conductivities are dependent on polarization of light, while the spin Hall conductivity is independent.
