Abstract
We investigate theroetically the damping rate of elastic surface waves due to density fluctuation on solid surfaces. A formula for the damping rate is presented using the Green’s function. The frequency and correlation length dependence of the rate is calculated. The results show a frequency and correlation length dependence quite different from that of the bulk phonon case.
