Abstract

The phonon dispersion of the Ge(001) surface has been calculated using density-functional perturbation theory and local-coupling transfer, which is a novel method for modeling dynamical matrices of large-size superstructures, such as the c(4 x 2) and p(2 X 2) phases. Furthermore, the surface phonons have been determined by inelastic He atom scattering. The measured scattering intensities can be explained only if higher-order reconstructions are assumed, indicating a correlation of the surface dimers with local c(4 x 2) or p(2 X 2) symmetry in Ge(001) at room temperature.
