Results of ab initio pseudopotential calculations for atomic geometry
and electronic band structure of the InSb(110) surface are presented a
nd discussed. These are then used as input for calculations of the dyn
amical properties of this surface within the adiabatic bond-charge mod
el. The calculated phonon spectrum compares very well with a recent He
atoms scattering experiment along <(Gamma)over bar>-(X) over bar'. Ou
r results also agree well with a recent ab initio calculation, Further
more, we have attempted to compare our results with those of other III
-V(110) surfaces. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
