Two-dimensional simulation of quantum reflection
E. Galiffi, C. Sünderhauf, M. DeKieviet +1
A propagation method for the scattering of a quantum wave packet from a potential surface is presented. It is used to model the quantum reflection of single atoms from a corrugated…
Theory of noncontact friction for atom-surface interactions
U. D. Jentschura, M. Janke, M. DeKieviet
The noncontact (van der Waals) friction is an interesting physical effect which has been the subject of controversial scientific discussion. The "direct" friction term due to the t…
Geometric phases causing lifetime modifications of metastable states of hydrogen
Martin-Isbjörn Trappe, Peter Augenstein, Maarten DeKieviet +2
Externally applied electromagnetic fields in general have an influence on the width of atomic spectral lines. The decay rates of atomic states can also be affected by the geometry…
Synthetic versus Dirac monopoles
Carl M. Bender, Maarten DeKieviet, K. A. Milton
In some recent experiments the distinction between synthetic magnetic monopoles and Dirac monopoles has been blurred. A case in point is the work in a letter by Ray {\it et al.} [a…
Quantum reflection from an oscillating surface
Benedikt Herwerth, Maarten DeKieviet, Javier Madronero +1
We describe an experimentally realistic situation of the quantum reflection of helium atoms from an oscillating surface. The temporal modulation of the potential induces clear side…
Noble gas, alkali and alkaline atoms interacting with a gold surface
Grzegorz Łach, Maarten DeKieviet, Ulrich D. Jentschura
The attractive branch of the interaction potentials with the surface of gold have been computed for a large variety of atomic systems: the hydrogen atom, noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, K…
