Quantum Hall edge states under periodic driving: A Floquet induced chirality switch

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 rules, the quasienergy band structure, as well as their connection with the two-t...
