Closed disordered interacting quantum systems can experience a many-body localization phase transition when tuning the disorder strength around its critical value. Recent studies have shown that the ergodic phase is not a common metallic phase but that it rather exhibits nontrivial mechanisms (mainly Griffiths effects) foregoing the many-body localized phase. Those mechanisms have been described in terms of dynamical quantities such as autocorrelation functions, return probability, entanglement entropy and imbalance, to mention some. Here, we study the dynamics of a Floquet model of many-body localization, focussing on the dynamical regimes on the ergodic side of the transition.
