Surf Sci. 368:1996;118-125 This article features a multifaceted effort in the study of OCS (carbonyl sulfide) on an ionic surface. The infrared spectroscopy placed stringent limitations on the interpretation of the HAS and LEED experiments. The observed phonon modes in certain parts of reciprocal space were used to suggest a close relationship between phonon intensity and symmetry.
