Probing Topological signatures in an optically driven $\alpha$-$T_3$ Lattice

Lakpa Tamang, Tutul Biswas

The $\alpha$-$T_3$ lattice, an interpolation model between the honeycomb lattice of graphene($\alpha =0$) and the dice lattice($\alpha =1$), undergoes a topological phase transition across $α=1/\sq…
