Off-resonant light-induced topological phase transition and thermoelectric transport in semi-Dirac materials
Vassilios Vargiamidis, P. Vasilopoulos, Neophytos Neophytou
We show that a semi-Dirac (SD) system with an inversion symmetry breaking mass exhibits a topological phase transition when irradiated with off-resonant light. Using Floquet theory…
