Atomic chains formed by metal adsorption on semiconductor surfaces are used as model systems for determining exotic electronic ground states. Here we present the vibrational properties of Au-induced nanostructures on Si(111) ((√3×√3) and (5×2) phase) and on Si(553) (local (5×2) phase), probed by polarized Raman spectroscopy (RS). Plenty of new surface vibration modes were identified for all three Au related surfaces. By comparing the results from RS of these three Au phases under consideration of different substrates, common structural elements were identified. These results could have a high impact on the verification of theoretical structures models of these systems, e.g., the lowest-energy reconstruction models of Krawiec [1] and the structural model of Erwin and Himpsel [2].
