Abstract
For the Au(110)-reconstructed surface we present a comparison of surface phonon modes measured with inelastic He-scattering and calculated from first principles. For the point use of bulk force constants does not explain the observed vibrational modes, while the microscopic first principles results give good agreement with the experiment. In contrast to recent results obtained with the semiempirical "glue"-model our microscopic calculations do not support the claim of anomalous high-frequency modes at this surface.Keywords
