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…
Phasor analysis of atom diffraction from a rotated material grating
Alexander D. Cronin, John D. Perreault
The strength of an atom-surface interaction is determined by studying atom diffraction from a rotated material grating. A phasor diagram is developed to interpret why diffraction o…
Dispersion Compensation for Atom Interferometry
Tony D. Roberts, Alexander D. Cronin, Martin V. Tiberg +1
A new technique for maintaining high contrast in an atom interferometer is used to measure large de Broglie wave phase shifts. Dependence of an interaction induced phase on the ato…
