Abstract
We outline a linear-chain model which is able to simulate fully the dynamics of a three-dimensional slab when some conditions are satisfied. This is achieved by allowing the force constants to have a dispersion which is fitted to neutron-scattering data. This procedure proves to be a useful tool for analyzing atom-scattering data of surface phonons in the framework of finite-chain calculations. Application to recent measurements in GaSe(001) and TaSe2(001) is made, showing that, in spite of a common contrary opinion, relevant changes are required in the surface force constants to account for surface-phonon anomalies. © 1988 The American Physical Society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
