Abstract:
The high Chern number phases with the Chern number |C| > 1 are observed in this study of a periodically driven extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (E-SSH) model with a cyclic parameter. Besides the standard intra-dimer and the nearest-neighbor inter-dimer hopping of the SSH model, an additional next-nearest-neighbor hopping is considered in the E-SSH model. The cyclic parameter, which plays the role of a synthetic dimension, is invoked as a modulation of the hopping strengths. A rigorous analysis of different phase diagrams has shown multiple Floquet topological phase transitions among the high Chern number phases. These phase transitions can be controlled by the strength and frequency of the periodic driving. Instead of applying perturbation theory, the whole analysis is done by Floquet replica technique. This gives a freedom to study high as well as low-frequency effects on the system by considering less or more number of photon sectors. This system can be experimentally realized through a pulse sequence scheme in the optical lattice setup.
