Finding the ultimate grating for atomic matter-waves
What happens when you accelerate hydrogen atoms to a breathtaking velocity of 120’000 m/s and shoot them onto the thinnest membrane there is? You get a absolutely fascinating diffraction pattern! In our newest publication we theoretically describe what to expect … Continue reading
Publication in Physical Review Letters
Our manuscript on preparing internally cold beams containing only a single molecular structure was published in Physical Review Letters.
Meet us at the “Lange Nacht der Forschung” in Vienna
On the 13.th of April the “Lange Nacht der Forschung” (long night of research) will give everybody a great opportunity to get an idea about science and research made in Austria. Our contribution will be presented at the “Altes AKH” … Continue reading
Spring meeting of the DPG in Erlangen
I just spend a very nice and inspriring week at the spring meeting of the German Physical Society in Erlangen, Germany. It’s great to come together with some many people, discuss in a very informal setting and make new connections … Continue reading
Visit at Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg
Last week I spend two very exciting days in the group of Jochen Küpper at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, which is at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany. It’s amazing to take a look at research done … Continue reading
Matter-waves III
In this post we take a look at THE prerequisite for matter-wave optics: how to make a particle behave like a wave.
Spatial separation of molecular conformers with interference
The task to sort molecules can be quite challenging if they are very similar. This is even more the case if you want to sort a single molecular species according to its three-dimensional structure. The problem is that for most … Continue reading
