The dynamical matrix is described in the central force model. The method is applicable to any direction in the surface and is specially efficient for high symmetry directions. Ni (111) surface phonons are obtained with excellent agreement with previous experimental results.TransferMetal surfacesMatrixVibrationsarticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0038-1098(89)90664-9
