Wannier representation of Floquet topological states

M Nakagawa, RJ Slager, S Higashikawa, T Oka - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
A universal feature of topological insulators is that they cannot be adiabatically connected to
an atomic limit, where individual lattice sites are completely decoupled. This property is …

Floquet prethermalization in periodically driven classical spin systems

T Mori - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
It is proved that the energy absorption in a periodically driven classical spin system is
exponentially slow in frequency, which results in a two-step relaxation called the Floquet …

Nonequilibrium steady states of electric field driven Mott insulators

Y Murakami, P Werner - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We present a systematic study of the nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) in Mott insulators
driven by dc or ac electric fields, based on the Floquet dynamical mean-field theory. The …

Floquet engineering of multiorbital Mott insulators: applications to orthorhombic titanates

J Liu, K Hejazi, L Balents - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS

theorem, is shown to be realized in a periodically driven three-dimensional lattice system …

Supercurrent-induced topological phase transitions

K Takasan, S Sumita, Y Yanase - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We show that finite current in superconductors can induce topological phase transitions, as
a result of the deformation of the quasiparticle spectrum by a finite center-of-mass (COM) …

Cavity-enhanced Kondo effect

J Mochida, Y Ashida - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
In metals containing magnetic impurities, conduction electrons screen the magnetic
