Limitations of Nanotechnology for Atom Interferometry
Alexander D. Cronin, Lu Wang, John D. Perreault
Do van der Waals interactions determine the smallest nanostructures that can be used for atom optics? This question is studied with regard to the problem of designing an atom inter…

Using Atomic Diffraction of Na from Material Gratings to Measure Atom-Surface Interactions
John D. Perreault, Alexander D. Cronin, T. A. Savas
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 mate…
