Abstract:	The lattice dynamics of Ag(110) is investigated by performing ab initio calculations to obtain the bulk and surface interatomic force constants. The results from the ab initio results are used to parametrize a model potential, so as to obtain phonon frequencies and eigenvectors throughout the bulk and surface Brillouin zones. The surface force constants are modified significantly from the bulk values, with alternate interlayer force constants being stiffened and softened. The coupling between next-nearest-neighbor surface atoms is unstable, hinting at a (weak) tendency towards missing-row reconstruction. The calculated surface phonon spectra are in good agreement with experiment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
