Creating stable Floquet–Weyl semimetals by laser-driving of 3D Dirac materials

Creating and controlling topological states of matter has become a central goal in condensed matter physics. Here, the authors report a predictive Floquet engineering of various topological phases in Na3Bi by using femtosecond laser pulses.
