Abstract
In this work, we study the band structures and intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) of the ferromagnetic multiorbital tight-binding (TB) model derived from the transition metal compound Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ under periodic driving of monochromatic polarized light. Within the framework of the Floquet theory, we adopt the continued fraction technique to attain the effective Hamiltonian valid in the weak-driving and low-frequency regimes, and the related Green's functions which are further employed for the transport calculations based on the Kubo formalism. The high-frequency circularly and linearly polarized (LP) light has limited impacts on the band structures, while the low-frequency light with the photon energy smaller than the bandwidth of the system opens up bandgaps at the edges of the Floquet-Brillouin zone (FBZ) since the transitions between Floquet sidebands become significant. For intrinsic AHC, the left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) light plays a distinct role on AHC compared to the right-handed circularly polarized (RCP) light. Furthermore, it reveals that the roles of LCP and RCP light can be interchanged by altering the incident plane of light. Finally, the intrinsic AHC with the interplay between the short-range disorder and circularly polarized light is also investigated.Keywords
