Abstract
Abstract We evaluate the surface phonon dispersion relations of Ag(111) within a force constants parametrization of the bulk dynamics. By changing the surface force constants we are able to explain all the salient features appearing in the experimental time of flight spectra. The parallel momentum Q has been considered along the direction [1 1 0] of the surface Brillouin zone. We show that the peaks of the time of flight spectra are related to the Rayleigh wave, to the pseudo Rayleigh wave and to a new resonance of longitudinal character. A comparison is made with the [11 2 ] direction.
