Theory and experimental verification of Kapitza-Dirac-Talbot-Lau interferometry
Klaus Hornberger, Stefan Gerlich, Hendrik Ulbricht +5
Kapitza-Dirac-Talbot-Lau interferometry (KDTLI) has recently been established for demonstrating the quantum wave nature of large molecules. A phase space treatment permits us to de…
Absolute absorption spectroscopy based on molecule interferometry
Stefan Nimmrichter, Klaus Hornberger, Hendrik Ulbricht +1
We propose a new method to measure the absolute photon absorption cross section of neutral molecules in a molecular beam. It is independent of our knowledge of the particle beam de…
A Kapitza-Dirac-Talbot-Lau interferometer for highly polarizable molecules
Stefan Gerlich, Lucia Hackermueller, Klaus Hornberger +8
Research on matter waves is a thriving field of quantum physics and has recently stimulated many investigations with electrons, neutrons, atoms, Bose-condensed ensembles, cold clus…
Optical polarizabilities of large molecules measured in near-field interferometry
Lucia Hackermueller, Klaus Hornberger, Stefan Gerlich +3
We discuss a novel application of matter wave interferometry to characterize the scalar optical polarizability of molecules at 532 nm. The interferometer presented here consists of…
Slow beams of massive molecules
Sarayut Deachapunya, Paul J. Fagan, Andras G. Major +5
Slow beams of neutral molecules are of great interest for a wide range of applications, from cold chemistry through precision measurements to tests of the foundations of quantum me…
The interlayer cohesive energy of graphite from thermal desorption of polyaromatic hydrocarbons
Renju Zacharia, Hendrik Ulbricht, Tobias Hertel
We have studied the interaction of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with the basal plane of graphite using thermal desorption spectroscopy. Desorption kinetics of benzene, naphthal…
