Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3327–3330 (1997)Tailored Complex Potentials and Friedel's Law in Atom OpticsReceived 27 May 1997; published in the issue dated 3 November 1997 Tailored complex potentials for atoms can be made of two overlapping standing light waves, one on resonance and one far detuned. The observed diffraction asymmetry of Bragg diffraction of such light structures is due to a corresponding asymmetry of the Fourier components of the potential. In crystal physics this is known as a violation of Friedel's law. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
