8. Umklapp reflections at a surface or interface involve a nonzero in-plane reciprocal lattice vector, and the geometry is generally not specular. Retroreflections refer to cases where the direction of the reflected wave is antiparallel to the direction of the incident wave. Umklapp reflections are well-known in low energy electron diffraction. Other examples of surface and bulk umklapp effects include the electronic structure of a modulated surface as reported by

28. Based on work on similar systems, the c(2×8) reconstruction, being an adatom-decorated structure, is unlikely to survive the deposition of Ag.
