Abstract:
We have conducted several Molecular Dynamics simulations in GAMESS in which we launched a beam of helium atoms towards a naphthalene molecule. The molecule's two rings served as a double slit. We then looked at the trajectories of transmitted helium atoms, and we were able to observe an interference pattern. We have also tried to determine the ring in which the incident atoms were able to pass through.
