Wg. Schmidt et Gp. Srivastava, FIRST PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS OF INTERFACE PHONONS OF AN EPITAXIAL SBMONOLAYER ON GAAS(110) AND INP(110), Solid state communications, 89(4), 1994, pp. 345-348
Vibrations of an epitaxial layer of Sb on the (110) surface of GaAs an
d InP have been investigated using first principles pseudopotential ca
lculations. The Hellmann-Feynman forces were employed to calculate the
dynamical matrix at the Gamma-point. The resulting eigenvalues and ei
genmodes are discussed in the context of recent Raman scattering exper
iments and tight-binding results.
