Floquet engineering is a promising tool for tuning magnetic interactions in the candidate Kitaev material α-RuCL3. Amplitude and frequency of the time periodic light field are able to modulate both sign and strength of Kitaev-, Heisenberg-, and Γ-interactions present in α-RuCl3. This paves the way of possibly driving α-RuCL3 into the sought after Kitaev spin-liquid phase.
We want to discuss possibilities of Floquet engineering with arbitrary polarized light in α-RuCl3. In order to do so, we describe the influence of arbitrary polarization via an effective model including Lissajous figures. This model is derived via perturbation theory up to fourth order. Starting from linear and circular polarized light we bridge the gap between those two limiting cases. Moreover we study more complex Lissajous figures and general trends arising for them.
