Structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the InSb(110) surface

Results of ab initio pseudopotential calculations for atomic geometry and electronic band structure of the InSb(110) surface are presented and discussed. These are then used as input for calculations of the dynamical properties of this surface within the adiabatic bond-charge model. The calculated phonon spectrum compares very well with a recent He atoms scattering experiment along View the MathML source. Our results also agree well with a recent ab initio calculation. Furthermore, we have attempted to compare our results with those of other III–V(110) surfaces.
