Fig.2: Interference pictures with atoms and molecules. After switching off the lattice light, the atoms fly apart, which can be observed using a CCD camera. An interference pattern with the typical satellite peaks thereby develops. The three pictures were taken before binding the atoms to the molecules, after binding and after breaking up the bond again. The fact that the first and last of the three pictures are so similar proves that the experiment was successful. The picture in the middle only shows atoms from singly-occupied lattice sites. The molecules are invisible in the detection

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
