Abstract
Anomalous Floquet topological superconductivity with chirality can be achieved by applying a dc-bias voltage across the Josephson junction with a sandwiched magnetic topological insulator (TI), in which the intrinsic Josephson phase provides a time-dependent periodic driving [R.-X. Zhang and S. Das Sarma, Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 067001 (2021)]. In this work, we remove the bias voltage and connect the magnetic TI to an external AC voltage source to modulate the chemical potential, thus bringing about an explicit-time Floquet periodic driving. In the context of the driving, the system is similarly found to convert into a two-dimensional anomalous Floquet topological superconductor with chirality. By tuning the AC voltage source's frequency, we obtain a rich variety of novel Floquet topological superconducting phases with chirality. Particularly, by manipulating such static parameters as Zeeman field and superconducting pairing potential, a series of topological superconducting phase transitions are also exhibited, accompanied by exotic Floquet topological superconducting phases with chirality.
