Atomic chains formed by metal adsorption on semiconductor surfaces are known as model systems for determining exotic electronic ground states, such as the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TTL). A system of Au-induced atomic wires on the Ge(001) surface has been reported to host such TTL behaviour [1]. Here we present the results of temperature dependent reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) on clean Ge(001) and Au/Ge(001). RAS probes optically surface and surface to bulk electronic transitions between 0.5 and 5 eV with linear polarized light at normal incidence. From polarized RS measurements the vibrational properties of clean Ge(001) and Au/Ge(001) were characterized and in particular surface phonon modes identified. In combination with calculated ab-initio optical and vibrational spectra , the experimental data from RS and RAS provide a basis for structural modeling of these complex surface reconstructions.
