Spectrally Resolved Specular Reflections of Thermal Phonons from Atomically Rough Surfaces

The reflection of waves from rough surfaces is a fundamental process that plays a role in diverse fields such as optics, acoustics, and seismology. While a quantitative understanding of the reflection process has long been established for many types of waves, the precise manner in which thermal phon...
