Abstract
We now have all the theoretical tools we need to begin discussing magneto-optical elements for atom beams. The primary objective—an aberration-corrected electromagnetic lens—is discussed in Chaps. 7–9. Along the path to this goal, however, we built and characterized a magnetic mirror for fast atoms. Though the current incarnation of the focusing project does not use this mirror, it performed well enough to warrant a publication in its own right. Much of the material in this chapter appeared as a Note in the Journal of Chemical Physics in September, 2013 [1], and has been reproduced with permission from AIP Publishing. Because the space restrictions in the current context are rather less stringent, certain parts of the discussion have been permitted to expand.
