Abstract
To meet future demands for nanofabrication, lithographic systems with sub-100-nm resolution are required. Atoms with a velocity of several tens of meters per second have de Broglie wavelengths in the picometer regime, and hence, diffraction does not prevent focusing to a nanometer spot size. Atomic beams are therefore a natural candidate for generating nanostructures.
