Flexural phonons in supported graphene: from pinning to localization

Abstract We identify graphene layer on a disordered substrate as a system where localization of phonons can be observed. Generally, observation of localization for scattering waves is not simple, because the Rayleigh scattering is inversely proportional to a high power of wavelength. The situation i...
