Floquet engineering offers exhilarating opportunities for controlling the dynamics of quantum many body systems and realizing new nonequilibrium phases of matter. However, generic interacting Floquet systems tend to heat up due to energy absorption from the drive, washing away the desired behavior. In this work, the authors characterize the steady states of an interacting electronic system, coupled to a phonon heat bath. They determine the regimes where the system-bath coupling stabilizes Floquet-insulator-like states, an important prerequisite for realizing topological states through Floquet engineering.
