Abstract
The surface state of objects in any scattering experiment is, of necessity, rough. Irregularities are of the most varied nature and lengthscales, ranging from the atomic scale, where they are caused by the inner structure of the material, to the mesoscopic and macroscopic scale where they can be related to the defects in processing in the case of solid bodies or to fluctuations in the case of liquid surfaces (ocean waves, for example)
