Low-energy vibrational modes of the monolayer adsorbate CO2/NaCl(001)

Abstract
Dispersion curves of surface vibrational modes of monolayer CO2/NaCl(001) have been measured by inelastic He atom scattering along the ΓX azimuth. Eight phonon modes could be followed across almost the entire Brillouin zone. The identification of the modes is discussed based on previously calculated normal mode energies at the zone origin.
