Abstract

Two simple methods, based on simple crystal models, for estimating the longitudinal optical surface vibration mode frequencies which lie in a LALO gap are examined. One method consists of deriving and solving a single-variable equation for the surface mode frequency, which depends only on the experimental bulk dispersion curves. The other method consists of fitting the known dispersion curves of a simple one-dimensional model, for which the optical surface mode frequency is given by a simple expression, to experimental bulk dispersion curves of more complex crystals. The results are compared with detailed theoretical surface mode calculations. The latter method is found to give better estimates.
