Abstract
Using a nearest neighbour model of interatomic forces we have obtained surface mode requencies for the face centred cubic (100), (110), (111), (210), …, (332) surfaces. In addition mode frequencies for the (511̄), (711̄), (911̄) and (553) surfaces were obtained so effects of increasing terrace size could be further studied. Frequencies and surface eigenvectors are presented for nickel. Since a nearest neighbour model is used a simple conversion factor allows a determination of the frequencies for other metals for which the nearest neighbour model is appropriate.
