Matter Wave Diffraction from an Inclined Transmission Grating: Searching for the Elusive He-4 Trimer Efimov State
R. Bruehl, A. Kalinin, O. Kornilov +3
The size of the helium trimer is determined by diffracting a beam of He-4 clusters from a 100 nm grating inclined by 21 degree. Due to the bar thickness the projected slit width is…
Matter diffraction at oblique incidence: Higher resolution and the Helium Trimer Efimov state
Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt, Martin Stoll
We study the diffraction of atoms and weakly-bound three-atomic molecules from a transmission grating at non-normal incidence. Due to the thickness of the grating bars the slits ar…
Diffraction of Weakly Bound Clusters: Spectroscopy and Size Effects
Martin Stoll, Thorsten Koehler, Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt
Exciting experiments in the field of atom and molecule optics have lately drawn much attention to the effects involved in the coherent diffraction of particle beams. We review the…
Inelastic Diffraction and Spectroscopy of Very Weakly Bound Clusters
Martin Stoll, Thorsten Koehler
We study the coherent inelastic diffraction of very weakly bound two body clusters from a material transmission grating. We show that internal transitions of the clusters can lead…
The van der Waals Potential between Metastable Atoms and Solid Surfaces: Novel Diffraction Experiments versus Theory
Ruediger Bruehl, Peter Fouquet, Robert E. Grisenti +5
Highly polarizable metastable He* () and Ne* () atoms have been diffracted from a 100 nm period silicon nitride transmission grating and the van der W…
