We present vibrational frequencies calculated for H, O, and S atoms adsorbed on Ni(111) and Ni(100) surfaces. The calculations are done for a single atom adsorbed on nickel clusters, and also for a single atom and periodic arrangements of atoms on an infinite nickel substrate. We are able to indicate under what conditions a simple cluster calculation will yield vibrational frequencies suitable for comparison with experiment.
