Floquet theory has spawned many exciting possibilities for electronic structure control with light with enormous potential for future applications. The experimental realization in solids, however, largely remains pending. In particular, the influence of scattering on the formation of Floquet-Bloch states remains poorly understood. Here we combine time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with time-dependent density functional theory and a two-level model with relaxation to investigate the survival of Floquet-Bloch states in the presence of scattering. We find that Floquet-Bloch states will be destroyed if scattering -- activated by electronic excitations -- prevents the Bloch electrons from following the driving field coherently. The two-level model also shows that Floquet-Bloch states reappear at high field intensities where energy exchange with the driving field dominates over energy dissipation to the bath. Our results clearly indicate the importance of long scattering times combined with strong driving fields for the successful realization of various Floquet phenomena.

We experimentally show evidence for the presence of spin accumulation in localized states at ferromagnet-silicon interfaces, detected by electrical Hanle effect measurements in CoFe/$n^{+}$-Si/$n$-Si lateral devices. By controlling the measurement te
mperature, we can clearly observe marked changes in the spin-accumulation signals at low temperatures, at which the electron transport across the interface changes from the direct tunneling to the two-step one via the localized states. We discuss in detail the difference in the spin accumulation between in the Si channel and in the localized states.
We present a mechanism for deterministic control of the Bloch chirality in magnetic skyrmions originating from the interplay between an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii$-$Moriya interaction (DMI) and a perpendicular magnetic field. Although conventional in
terfacial DMI favors chiral Neel skyrmions, it does not break the energetic symmetry of the two Bloch chiralities in mixed Bloch$-$Neel skyrmions. However, the energy barrier to switching between Bloch chiralities does depend on the sense of rotation, which is dictated by the direction of the driving field. Our analysis of steady-state Dzyaloshinskii domain wall dynamics culminates in a switching diagram akin to the Stoner$-$Wohlfarth astroid, revealing the existence of both monochiral and multichiral Bloch regimes. Furthermore, we discuss recent theory of vertical Bloch line$-$mediated Bloch chirality selection in the precessional regime and extend these arguments to lower driving fields. This work establishes that applied magnetic fields can be used to dynamically switch between the chiral Bloch states of domain walls and skyrmions as indicated by this new Dzyaloshinskii astroid.
The coherent optical manipulation of solids is emerging as a promising way to engineer novel quantum states of matter. The strong time periodic potential of intense laser light can be used to generate hybrid photon-electron states. Interaction of lig
ht with Bloch states leads to Floquet-Bloch states which are essential in realizing new photo-induced quantum phases. Similarly, dressing of free electron states near the surface of a solid generates Volkov states which are used to study non-linear optics in atoms and semiconductors. The interaction of these two dynamic states with each other remains an open experimental problem. Here we use Time and Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (Tr-ARPES) to selectively study the transition between these two states on the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. We find that the coupling between the two strongly depends on the electron momentum, providing a route to enhance or inhibit it. Moreover, by controlling the light polarization we can negate Volkov states in order to generate pure Floquet-Bloch states. This work establishes a systematic path for the coherent manipulation of solids via light-matter interaction.
Controlled excitation of materials can transiently induce changed or novel properties with many fundamental and technological implications. Especially, the concept of Floquet engineering, manipulation of the electronic structure via dressing with ext
ernal lasers, has attracted some recent interest. Here we review the progress made in defining Floquet materials properties and give a special focus on their signatures in experimental observables as well as considering recent experiments realizing Floquet phases in solid state materials. We discuss how a wide range of experiments with non-equilibrium electronic structure can be viewed by employing Floquet theory as an analysis tool providing a different view of excitations in solids.
We study the effects of a periodically driven electric field applied to a variety of tight-binding models in one dimension. We first consider a non-interacting system with or without a staggered on-site potential, and we find that that periodic drivi
ng can generate states localized completely or partially near the ends of a finite-sized system. Depending on the system parameters, such states have Floquet eigenvalues lying either outside or inside the continuum of eigenvalues of the bulk states; only in the former case we find that these states are completely localized at the ends and are true edge states. We then consider a system of two bosonic particles which have an on-site Hubbard interaction and show that a periodically driven electric field can generate two-particle states which are localized at the ends of the system. We show that many of these effects can be understood using a Floquet perturbation theory which is valid in the limit of large staggered potential or large interaction strength. Some of these effects can also be understood qualitatively by considering time-independent Hamiltonians which have a potential at the sites at the edges; Hamiltonians of these kind effectively appear in a Floquet-Magnus analysis of the driven problem. Finally, we discuss how the edge states produced by periodic driving of a non-interacting system of fermions can be detected by measuring the differential conductance of the system.
