Diffraction patterns of electrons are believed to resemble those of electromagnetic waves (EMW). I performed a series of experiments invoked to show that the periodicity of peaks in the diffraction diagram of electrons is concerned with the…
We study Bragg scattering at 1D atomic lattices. Cold atoms are confined by optical dipole forces at the antinodes of a standing wave generated inside a laser-driven cavity. The atoms arrange themselves into an array of lens-shaped layers…
We study Bragg scattering at 1D optical lattices. Cold atoms are confined by the optical dipole force at the antinodes of a standing wave generated inside a laser-driven high-finesse cavity. The atoms arrange themselves into a chain of…
We report on ultrafast electron diffraction on high quality single crystal silicon. The ultrafast dynamics of the Bragg peaks exhibits a giant photo-induced response which can only be explained in the framework of dynamical diffraction…
Louis deBroglie's connection between momentum and spatial-frequency vectors is perhaps most viscerally-experienced via the real-time access that electron-diffraction provides to transverse slices of a nano-crystal's reciprocal-lattice. The…
In this theoretical study, the author firstly discusses the wave interference of Bragg diffraction inside 3D crystal, followed by quantum mechanical interpretation on the diffraction process, and proves that the interference fringe between…
Bragg diffraction is comparable to a hard-wall reflection if the Bragg condition is exactly fulfilled. However, in a neutron interferometer in the gravitational field (COW experiment) this is not the case and the momentum transfers should…
Elastic electron scattering is one of the primary means of investigating materials on the atomic scale. It is usually described by modeling the sample as a fixed, static, perturbative potential, thereby completely neglecting the quantum…
For the oblique helicoidal structure of the chiral twist-bend nematic-forming mixture of CB7CB/CB6OCB/5CB doped by light-sensitive chiral compound based on azo-fragment, two consequent states of Bragg reflection of the light in the visible…
Atom-surface interactions can significantly modify the intensity and phase of atom de Broglie waves diffracted by a silicon nitride grating. This affects the operation of a material grating as a coherent beam splitter. The phase shift…
We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting that charged dopants locally suppress quantum reflection from…
Diffraction of atoms from surfaces provides detailed insights into structures, interactions, and dynamical processes. However, currently the method is limited to measurements in reflection - diffraction through materials has only been…
We have observed Bragg scattering of photons from quantum degenerate $^{87}$Rb atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice. Bragg scattered light directly probes the microscopic crystal structure and atomic wavefunction whose position and…
We discuss the applicability of holographically recorded gratings in photopolymers and holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals as neutron optical elements. An experimental investigation of their properties for light and neutrons with…
Geometrically decorated two-dimensional (2D) discrete surfaces can be more effective than conventional smooth reflectors in managing wave radiation. Constructive non-specular wave scattering permits the scattering angle to be other than…
Quantum reflection is a universal property of atoms and molecules when scattered from surfaces in ultracold collisions. Recent experimental work has documented the quantum reflection and diffraction of He atoms, dimers, trimers and Neon…
The thesis 'Investigations to Improve Energy Resolution for Neutron Backscattering Spectrometers Using Ideal Crystals with Low Dynamic Width of the Reflection Curve' first introduces the concept of the neutron backscattering spectrometer…
We report experimental observations of large Bragg reflection from arrays of cold atoms trapped near a one-dimensional nanoscale waveguide. By using an optical lattice in the evanescent field surrounding a nanofiber with a period nearly…
The problem of neutron scattering by the single magnetic atom is theoretically considered in the second order perturbation theory. It is demonstrated that elastic scattering of unpolarized neutron by magnetic atom is skewed, i.e. contains…
We propose a scheme for generating high-mass quantum superposition states of an optically pre-cooled, levitated nanoparticle through electron diffraction at its sub-nanometer crystal lattice. When a single electron undergoes Bragg…
