Photo-induced Multiply Quantized Vortex States in Dirac-like Materials
arXiv:2404.09086 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.085402
Abstract
Subjecting a massive two-dimensional Dirac material to a vortex light beam provides a mechanism for the photo-induction of multiply quantized vortices. Using Floquet theory, we show that electronic vortices, characterized by their total angular momentum, are exclusive to circularly polarized vortex beams. The equations for the driven system at the one photon-resonance are mapped to the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations of -wave superconductors with multiply quantized vortices. This mapping provides valuable analytical tools for the analysis of the system's spectral properties.
