We theoretically explore the tunneling dynamics and dynamical localization (DL) for the Bose-Hubbard (BH) model of a single spin-orbit-coupled atom trapped in an optical lattice subjected to lattice shaking and to time-periodic Zeeman field. By means of analytical and numerical methods, we demonstrate that the spin-orbit (SO) coupling adds some new results to the DL phenomenon in both multiphoton resonance and far-off-resonance parameter regimes. When the driving frequency is resonant with the static Zeeman field (multi-photon resonances), we obtain an unexpected new DL phenomenon where the single SO-coupled atom is restricted to making perfect two-site Rabi oscillation accompanied by spin flipping. By using the unconventional DL phenomenon, we are able to generate a ratchetlike effect which enables directed atomic motion towards different directions and accompanies periodic spin-flipping under the action of SO coupling. For the far-off-resonance case, we show that by suppressing the usual inter-site tunneling alone, it is possible to realize a type of spin-conserving second-order tunneling between next-nearest-neighboring sites, which is not accessible in the conventional lattice system without SO coupling. We also show that simultaneous controls of the usual inter-site tunneling and the SO-coupling-related second-order-tunneling are necessary for quasienergies flatness (collapse) and DL to exist. These results may be relevant to potential applications such as spin-based quantum information processing and design of novel spintronics devices.
