Abstract
A realistic calculation of the low-frequency phonon spectrum of cleaved GaAs(110) is presented. Our calculation is based on Chadi's tight-binding theory for structural energies and the structural energies are simply determined by the bond-orbital approximation. A variety of interesting surface vibrational modes are found which agree well with the observation, in He-atom scattering experiments, of some acoustic branches of surface phonons.
