| contents | Fractional quantized response appears to be a distinctive characteristic in interacting topological systems. Here, we discover a novel phenomenon of tilt-induced fractional quantize drift in non-interacting system constructed by a time-modulated superlattice subjected to a external time-independent gradient potential. Depending on the tilt strength, Rabi oscillations between adjacent lowest enegy bands caused by Landau-Zener tunneling, can induce that the one-cycle-averaged drift displacement is fraction, which is relate to the ratio of the sum of Chern numbers of multiple bands to the number of energy bands involved in Landau Zener tunneling. As representative examples, we construct fractional (1/3, 1/2) quantize drift only via adjusting period of lattice. The numerical simulations allow us to consider a realistic setup amenable of an experimental realization. Our findings will expand the research implications of both fractional quantize response and topological materials. |
