The Fermi-Dirac staircase occupation of Floquet bands and current rectification inside the optical gap of metals: an exact approach

We consider a model of a Bloch band subjected to an oscillating electric field and coupled to a featureless fermionic heat bath, which can be solved exactly. We demonstrate rigorously that in the limit of vanishing coupling to this bath (so that it acts as an ideal thermodynamic bath) the occupat...
