Atomic diffraction by a thin phase grating
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, A. Aspect
We present a semiclassical perturbation method for the description of atomic diffraction by a weakly modulated potential. It proceeds in a way similar to the treatment of light dif…

Phase shifts of atomic de Broglie waves at an evanescent wave mirror
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, R. Kaiser +2
A detailed theoretical investigation of the reflection of an atomic de Broglie wave at an evanescent wave mirror is presented. The classical and the semiclassical descriptions of t…

Recoil and momentum diffusion of an atom close to a vacuum-dielectric interface
Carsten Henkel, Jean-Yves Courtois
We derive the quantum-mechanical master equation (generalized optical Bloch equation) for an atom in the vicinity of a flat dielectric surface. This equation gives access to the se…
