Abstract :
The work aims to develop an atom lithography apparatus by exploiting cold atoms, differently from conventional implementations where thermal atomic sources are used. The cold atomic beam of the apparatus is produced continuously out of a pyramidal magnetooptical trap (MOT) for cesium atoms, a specific configuration of mirrors mounted as the inner part of a hollow pyramid, with a small apical aperture.
