Nuclear resonant scattering (Mössbauer spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation) allows the direct observation of the phonon density of states (DOS). The resonant feature of the method enables the selective investigation of the dynamics of an iron layer deposited at the surface or at an interface. The results of a systematic investigation of iron layers with thicknesses in the range from 40 ML down to 1 ML deposited on a W(110) substrate are presented and compared with bulk DOS and ab-initio calculations. The observed spectra, which are the first DOS spectra of an uncoated iron monolayer, show a phonon softening due to the broken translational symmetry and an inplane anisotropy.
