We present a theory for the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction mediated by a two-dimensional (2D) electron system subjected to periodic driving. This is demonstrated for a heterostructure consisting of two ferromagnets laterally sandwiching the 2D metallic spacer. Our calculations reveal new non-analytic features in the spin susceptibility. For weak light-matter coupling, the RKKY interaction shows oscillations with a period tunable by the light amplitude and frequency. For stronger light-matter coupling, the interaction becomes non-oscillatory and remains purely ferromagnetic.

Electrons in a lattice exhibit time-periodic motion, known as Bloch oscillation, when subject to an additional static electric field. Here we show that a corresponding dynamics can occur upon replacing the spatially periodic potential by a time-perio dic driving: Floquet oscillations of charge carriers in a spatially homogeneous system. The time lattice of the driving gives rise to Floquet bands that take on the role of the usual Bloch bands. For two different drivings (harmonic driving and periodic kicking through pulses) of systems with linear dispersion we demonstrate the existence of such oscillations, both by directly propagating wave packets and based on a complementary Floquet analysis. The Floquet oscillations feature richer oscillation patterns than their Bloch counterpart and enable the imaging of Floquet bands. Moreover, their period can be directly tuned through the driving frequency. Such oscillations should be experimentally observable in effective Dirac systems, such as graphene, when illuminated with circularly polarized light.
The two-electron exchange coupling in a nanowire double quantum dot (DQD) is shown to possess Moriyas anisotropic superexchange interaction under the influence of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) and a Zeeman field. We reve al the controllability of the anisotropic exchange interaction via tuning the SOC and the direction of the external magnetic field. The exchange interaction can be transformed into an isotropic Heisenberg interaction, but the uniform magnetic field becomes an effective inhomogeneous field whose measurable inhomogeneity reflects the SOC strength. Moreover, the presence of the effective inhomogeneous field gives rise to an energy-level anticrossing in the low-energy spectrum of the DQD. By fitting the analytical expression for the energy gap to the experimental spectroscopic detections [S. Nadj-Perge et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 166801 (2012)], we obtain the complete features of the SOC in an InSb nanowire DQD.

We present magnetotransport calculations for homogeneous two-dimensional electron systems including the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, which mixes the spin-eigenstates and leads to a modified fan-chart with crossing Landau levels. The quantum mechani cal Kubo formula is evaluated by taking into account spin-conserving scatterers in an extension of the self-consistent Born approximation that considers the spin degree of freedom. The calculated conductivity exhibits besides the well-known beating in the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations a modulation which is due to a suppression of scattering away from the crossing points of Landau levels and does not show up in the density of states. This modulation, surviving even at elevated temperatures when the SdH oscillations are damped out, could serve to identify spin-orbit coupling in magnetotransport experiments. Our magnetotransport calculations are extended also to lateral superlattices and predictions are made with respect to 1/B periodic oscillations in dependence on carrier density and strength of the spin-orbit coupling.

Floquet higher order topological insulators (FHOTIs) are a novel topological phase that can occur in periodically driven lattices. An appropriate experimental platform to realize FHOTIs has not yet been identified. We introduce a periodically-driven bipartite (two-band) system that hosts FHOTI phases, and predict that this lattice can be realized in experimentally-realistic optical waveguide arrays, similar to those previously used to study anomalous Floquet insulators. The model exhibits interesting phase transitions from first-order to second-order topological matter by tuning a coupling strength parameter, without breaking lattice symmetry. In the FHOTI phase, the lattice hosts corner modes at eigenphase $0$ or $pi$, which are robust against disorder in the individual couplings.
We develop a theory for the non-equilibrium screening of a charged impurity in a two-dimensional electron system under a strong time-periodic drive. Our analysis of the time-averaged polarization function and dielectric function reveals that Floquet driving modifies the screened impurity potential in two main regimes. In the weak drive regime, the time-averaged screened potential exhibits unconventional Friedel oscillations with multiple spatial periods contributed by a principal period modulated by higher-order periods, which are due to the emergence of additional Kohn anomalies in the polarization function. In the strong drive regime, the time-averaged impurity potential becomes almost unscreened and does not exhibit Friedel oscillations. This tunable Friedel oscillations is a result of the dynamic gating effect of the time-dependent driving field on the two-dimensional electron system.
