Optically Induced Topological Phase Transition in two dimensional Square Lattice Antiferromagnet
arXiv:2004.08568 · doi:10.1088/1361-648X/abc1ff
Abstract
The two dimensional square lattice antiferromagnet with spin-orbit coupling and nonsymmorphic symmetry is recently found to be topological insulator (TI). We theoretically studied the Floquet states of the antiferromagnetic crystal with optical irradiation, which could be applicable in opto-spintronic. An optical irradiation with circular polarization induces topological phase transition into quantum Anomalous Hall (QAH) phase with varying Chern number. At the phase boundaries, the Floquet systems could be semimetal with one, two or three band valleys. A linear polarized optical field induces effective antiferromagnetic exchange field, which change the phase regime of the TI. At the intersection of two phase boundaries, the bulk band structure is nearly flat along one of the high symmetry line in the first Brillouin zone, which result in large density of states near to the Fermi energy in bulk and nanoribbons.
