Abstract
The effects of the mode conversion of high-frequency phonons on the diffuse scattering are discussed. The shape of phonon-reflection signals is obtained as a function of time for transverse phonons. The conclusion is that the mode-converted surface phonons are of considerable importance in order to interpret the cause of diffuse scattering of high-frequency phonons.Keywords
