Abstract

We extend a formalism for the calculation of the surface-induced infrared anisotropy spectra of cubic polar crystals, in order to incorporate surface relaxation, reconstruction, and in general, surface modifications to the dynamic matrix. We calculate the reflectance anisotropy of a model (110) GaAs surface. The spectra have a rich structure which can be related to critical points of the phonon dispersion relation, and to coupling to surface states and surface resonances. The results display a very large sensitivity to the surface parameters, indicating that the surface induced anisotropy can be employed as an optical surface probe in the far IR.
