Using atomic diffraction of Na from material gratings to measure atom-surface interactions

Using atomic diffraction of Na from material gratings to measure atom-surface interactions

In atom optics a material structure is commonly regarded as an amplitude mask for atom waves. However, atomic diffraction patterns formed using material gratings indicate that material structures also operate as phase masks. In this study a well collimated beam of sodium atoms is used to illuminate a silicon nitride …
