Abstract
Molecular beams of rare gas atoms and D2 have been diffracted from 100 nm period SiNx transmission gratings. The relative intensities of the diffraction peaks out to the 8th order depend on the diffracting particle and are interpreted in terms of effective slit widths. These differences have been analyzed by a new theory which accounts for the long-range van der Waals -C3/l3 interaction of the particles with the walls of the grating bars. The values of the C3 constant for two different gratings are in good agreement and the results exhibit the expected linear dependence on the dipole polarizability.
