X Abstract

We propose the use of a structured planar mirror as the way to obtain the physical conditions for which the combination of an evanescent field and a surface plasmon potential would result in an atom-trap well located at 0.6 m above the mirror’s surface. We present calculations from which we obtain a well depth slightly bigger than 7 K. The configuration and calculations we present are for a single trap, however, there would appear to be no restrictions to extend this idea to a two-dimensional matrixlike array of traps, hinting on the possibility for tailored design of latticelike trap structures.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
