Abstract

The matter-wave interferometer for large molecules was demonstrated. The Talbot-Lau interferometer for C70 fullerene molecules was suitable for larger masses. An interference fringe visibility of 40% with high count rate was achieved using three free-standing gold gratings of 1 œm period and a transversally incoherent but velocity-selected molecular beam.
