摘要:

我们讨论了金属和电介质纳米粒子的自由光束对物质波干涉实验的最新进展。他们需要一个辉煌的源,一个有效的检测方案和一个相干的方法来划分与这些集群相关的德布罗意波:我们描述了一种基于磁控溅射源的方法,该溅射源产生了一个强烈的集群光束,具有广泛的质量色散,但小的速度扩展为10%。该源是通用的,因为它可以用于所有导电和许多半导体甚至绝缘材料。在这里,我们专注于金属和铌酸锂与低功函数的散装,因此低集群电离能。这使我们能够实现光电离光栅相干物质波分束器,也实现了一个有效的电离检测方案。这些新的方法现在结合在一个升级的Talbot-Lau干涉仪与三个266 nm的耗尽光栅。我们在这里描述的实验边界条件,以及如何实现它们在实验室中。下一代近场干涉仪将使我们能够很快将物质波干涉的极限推到10兆道尔顿。

英文摘要:

We discuss recent advances towards matter-wave interference experiments with free beams of metallic and dielectric nanoparticles. They require a brilliant source, an efficient detection scheme and a coherent method to divide the de Broglie waves associated with these clusters: We describe an approach based on a magnetron sputtering source which ejects an intense cluster beam with a wide mass dispersion but a small velocity spread of 10%. The source is universal as it can be used with all conducting and many semiconducting or even insulating materials. Here we focus on metals and dielectrics with a low work function of the bulk and thus a low cluster ionization energy. This allows us to realize photoionization gratings as coherent matter-wave beam splitters and also to realize an efficient ionization detection scheme. These new methods are now combined in an upgraded Talbot-Lau interferometer with three 266 nm depletion gratings. We here describe the experimental boundary conditions and how to realize them in the lab. This next generation of near-field interferometers shall allow us to soon push the limits of matter-wave interference to masses up to 10 megadaltons.
