Title: Analysis of photo-induced chirality and magnetic toroidal moment based on Floquet formalism
(Submitted on 12 Dec 2023)
Abstract: We analyze the condition of photo-induced atomic-scale chirality and magnetic toroidal moment. By performing a high-frequency expansion in the Floquet formalism, we derive an effective static model Hamiltonian from the spinful $s$-$p$ hybridized model of a single atom interacting with an electromagnetic wave with a particular polarization. The lowest-order and third-order contributions in the high-frequency expansion give rise to the coupling to induce an electric toroidal monopole corresponding to microscopic chirality, while the second-order contribution provides the coupling to induce a magnetic toroidal dipole. We also discuss the condition of the polarization of the electromagnetic wave and induced multipoles. Our results stimulate a new direction of controlling unconventional multipoles by electromagnetic waves.
