Abstract

Phenomena of electron, neutron, atomic, and molecular diffraction have been studied in many experiments, and these experiments have been explained by some theoretical works. We study neutron single and double-slit diffraction with a new quantum mechanical approach. The calculation results are compared with the experimental data obtained with cold neutrons.

A New Approach of Quantum Mechanics for Neutron Single-Slit Diffraction

Phenomena of electron, neutron, atomic and molecular diffraction have been studied in many experiments, and these experiments are explained by many theoretical works. We study neutron single-slit diffraction with a quantum mechanical approach. It is found that the obvious diffraction patterns can be obtained when the single-slit width a is in the range of 3λ~60λ. We also find a new quantum effect of the thickness of single-slit which can make a large impact on the diffraction pattern. The new quantum effect predicted in our work can be tested by the neutron single-slit diffraction experiment.

The phenomena of electron,neutron,atomic and molecular diffraction were researched by many experiments in recent year and these experiments were explained by various theory.In this paper,we study the double-slit diffraction of neutron with an approach of quantum mechanics at frist.We find some new results: When slit width a and slit distance d is the ratio of(a+d)/a=n(n=1,2,3,…),order n,2n,3n,… are missing in diffraction pattern;When the ratio of(a+d)/a≠n(n=1,2,3,…),there isn't missing order in diffraction pattern;The length of slit b only affects the diffraction intensity while the thickness c not only affects the intensity,but also changes the missing order in diffraction patterns.

Quantum Theory of Electronic Double-Slit Diffraction

Xiang-Yao Wu, Zhang Baijun, Haibo Li +7 more

Phenomena of electron, neutron, atomic and molecular diffraction have been studied in many experiments, and these experiments have been explained by some theoretical works. We study electronic double-slit diffraction with a quantum mechanical approach and obtain the following results: (1) When the ratio of ( d + a )/ a = n ( n = 1,2,3,…), orders n ,2 n ,3 n ,… are missing in diffraction pattern. (2) When the ratio of ( d + a )/ a ≠ n ( n = 1,2,3,…), there is not missing order in diffraction pattern. (3) The slit thickness c has a large affect on the electronic diffraction pattern, which is a new quantum effect. We believe that all the predictions in our work can be tested by the electronic double slit diffraction experiment.
