Quantum features in atomic nanofabrication using exactly resonant standing waves.
We report on the first fabrication of nanostructures with exactly resonant light revealing the quantum character of the atom-light interaction. Classically the formation of nanostructures is not expected; thus, the observed formation of complex periodic line patterns can be explained only by treating atom-light interaction and propagation of the atoms quantum mechanically. Our numerical quantum...
متن کاملDissipative light masks for atomic nanofabrication
We investigate the applicability of laser cooling in intense blue detuned standing light waves for generating nanostructures by direct deposition of atoms on a surface. We report on our results concerning the structure width and modulation depth of the resulting structures which are important parameters for future technological applications. As the main result we find that these new masks can l...
متن کاملMagnetic Dipole Transition in Atomic Ytterbium
We present the results of an ongoing investigation designed to measure the forbidden magnetic dipole transition amplitude for the 6s2 S0 → 6s5d D1 transition (408 nm) in atomic ytterbium. The transition is excited in an effusive atiomic beam with a C.W. laser in the presence of crossed D.C. electric and magnetic fields. The fields are arranged to provide interference between the magnetic dipole...
متن کاملOn an atomic decomposition in Banach spaces
An atomic decomposition is considered in Banach space. A method for constructing an atomic decomposition of Banach space, starting with atomic decomposition of subspaces is presented. Some relations between them are established. The proposed method is used in the study of the frame properties of systems of eigenfunctions and associated functions of discontinuous differential operators.
متن کاملDiscrete-step evaporation of an atomic beam
We present a theoretical analysis of the evaporative cooling of a magnetically guided atomic beam by means of discrete radio-frequency antennas. First we derive the changes in flux and temperature, as well as in collision rate and phase-space density, for a single evaporation step. Next we show how the occurrence of collisions during the propagation between two successive antennas can be probed...
