We report on the emergence of laser-induced chiral edge states in graphene ribbons. Insights on the nature of these Floquet states is provided by an analytical solution which is complemented with numerical simulations of ...

We consider a model for an edge state of electronic systems in the quantum Hall regime with filling ν=1 and in the quantum spin Hall regime. In both cases, the system is in contact with two reservoirs by tunneling at point ...

We report on the fate of the quantum Hall effect in graphene under intense laser illumination. By using Floquet theory combined with both a low energy description and full tight-binding models, we clarify the selection ...

Recent studies have focused on laser-induced gaps in graphene which have been shown to have a topological origin, thereby hosting robust states at the sample edges. While the focus has remained mainly on these topological ...

We calculate the effect of spin waves on the properties of finite-size spin chains with a chiral spin ground state observed on biatomic Fe chains deposited on iridium(001). The system is described with a Heisenberg model ...

Abstract: Chiral partition functions of conformal eld theory describe the edge exci- tations of isolated Hall droplets. They are characterized by an index specifying the quasiparticle sector and transform among themselves ...

Strongly correlated materials with strong spin-orbit coupling hold promise for realizing topological phases with fractionalized excitations. Here, we propose a chiral spin-orbital liquid as a stable phase of a realistic ...
