Abstract
Atomic band-gap structures are possible by exploiting resonant quantum tunneling of cold atomic beams through a positively detuned laser beam with a multipeaked transverse profile. Spontaneous emission inhibits but does not necessarily eliminate the resonance effects. © 1996 The American Physical Society.Keywords
