Abstract

Concepts borrowed from the effective mass theory of impurity states in semiconductors are shown to be useful in the theory of surface states. Explicit application is made to surface phonons. For a bcc (100) surface, in particular, the authors compare their approximate surface eigenvalues and eigenvectors with essentially exact results from brute force slab calculations, and find generally good agreement. Several approaches to the solution of the effective mass equation are considered, and their relative accuracies are discussed.
