Abstract

The author studies the effect of crystal thickness on the vibrational properties of films and bicrystal interfaces by the Green function method. An expression for the surface Green function is obtained which depends on the crystal thickness by using a short-range interaction potential between the first and second neighbour atoms. The cases of acoustical and optical-like phonons are discussed.
