Abstract

The dispersions of low energy surface phonon modes of GaP(1 1 0) and InAs(1 1 0) measured with inelastic He-atom scattering along the 〈1 1̄ 0〉 and 〈0 0 1〉 directions are presented. Aside from the Rayleigh mode, additional distinct acoustic modes are observed as well as indications of optical modes. Contrary to results for GaAs(1 1 0), a rocking mode was not observed. The experimentally determined phonon dispersions are in excellent agreement with recent ab initio calculations by C. Eckl, et al..
