Quantum reflection of helium atom beams from a microstructured grating
Bum Suk Zhao, Stephan A. Schulz, Samuel A. Meek +2
We observe high-resolution diffraction patterns of a thermal-energy helium-atom beam reflected from a microstructured surface grating at grazing incidence. The grating consists of…
Alternating gradient focusing and deceleration of large molecules
Kirstin Wohlfart, Fabian Grätz, Frank Filsinger +3
We have focused and decelerated benzonitrile (CHN) molecules from a molecular beam, using an array of time-varying inhomogeneous electric fields in alternating gradient con…
AC electric trapping of neutral atoms
Sophie Schlunk, Adela Marian, Wieland Schoellkopf +1
We study the dynamic behavior of ultracold neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Confinement in such a trap is achieved by switching between two saddle-point configurati…
Trapping molecules on a chip in traveling potential wells
Samuel A. Meek, Hendrick L. Bethlem, Horst Conrad +1
A microstructured array of over 1200 electrodes on a substrate has been configured to generate an array of local minima of electric field strength with a periodicity of m ab…
The radiative lifetime of metastable CO ()
Joop J. Gilijamse, Steven Hoekstra, Samuel A. Meek +4
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the radiative lifetime of CO in the state. CO molecules in a beam are prepared in selected rotational…
Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH molecules
Steven Hoekstra, Markus Metsala, Peter C. Zieger +4
We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of NH () radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden …
