We present results of a first-principles molecular-dynamics study of the surface structure and atomic dynamics of Ge (111) c (2× 8) at T= 0 and T= 300 K. The T= 0 ground-state structure shows asymmetries between the two adatoms and the two restatoms in the surface unit cell, which are seen experimentally in low-energy electron diffraction. These asymmetries, which are found to survive at T∼ 300 K, lead to zone folding and splitting of the surface phonon modes. Two pairs of prominent surface modes are identified, mostly localized on the adatoms and second-layer atoms just below. The values of the mean square displacements for the various layers at different temperatures moreover indicate an enhanced surface anharmonicity with respect to the bulk.
