- Abstract
The wave nature of both the biomolecule TPP and the fluorofullerene C 60F48 in a near-field interferometer was demonstrated. The experimental visibilities of the interference fringes were compared to a quantum and a classical model. It was found that, for the porphyrin experiment, the visibility is in full agreement with predictions by quantum mechanics and in clear disagreement with the classical model.
