Floquet Control of Indirect Exchange Interaction in Periodically Driven Two-Dimensional Electron Systems
arXiv:2003.14383 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ac3efe
Abstract
We present a theory for the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction mediated by a two-dimensional (2D) electron system subjected to periodic driving. This is demonstrated for a heterostructure consisting of two ferromagnets laterally sandwiching the 2D metallic spacer. Our calculations reveal new non-analytic features in the spin susceptibility. For weak light-matter coupling, the RKKY interaction shows oscillations with a period tunable by the light amplitude and frequency. For stronger light-matter coupling, the interaction becomes non-oscillatory and remains purely ferromagnetic.
