I would probably use "diffraction" to refer to the type of experiment you are talking about and "reflection" to refer to a Bragg mirror in, e.g., a DFB or DBR laser (that would be a periodic-index structure that causes waves of a certain wavelength to reflect through destructive interference of...

High mobility in graphene and carbon nanotubes is obviously one of their most useful properties, and it's not simply a matter of low dimensionality. The reason mobility is so high is that electrons (and holes) simply cannot backscatter in the honeycomb lattice. The explanation for this can be...
