Abstract
Advances in micro-technology of the last years have made it possible to carry optics textbooks experiments over to atomic and molecular beams, such as diffraction by a double slit or transmission grating. The usual wave-optical approach gives a good qualitative description of these experiments. However, small deviations therefrom and sophisticated quantum mechanics yield new surprising insights on the size of particles and on their interaction with surfaces.
