Abstract: Suppressing Floquet thermalization is an important goal in the field of Floquet engineering. Here, we propose a driving transparency mechanism to suppress the Floquet thermalization in periodically driven tilted lattices of interacting spinless fermions. By leveraging the interplay between the tilting and interaction, the system can be engineered to prevent direct energy absorption from the driving at particular frequencies. We analytically determine these driving transparency frequencies through the Floquet time-dependent perturbation theory. The system is near-integrable at the driving transparency frequencies. The suppression of thermalization by the driving transparency is demonstrated numerically by the violation of the Floquet eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, the retention of the initial state, and the logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy. Our work provides an intuitive way to suppress Floquet thermalization and offers an opportunity to engineer exotic nonequilibrium Floquet states in tilted lattice systems.
