Subject: looking for accurate Au-Au force constant

Dear all,

Does anybody know an accurate force constant which can be used to
represent Au{111} surface? or some way to fit the force constant by its
phonon dispersion? Any reference or suggestion is welcome. 
I am doing classical MD simulation, Au{111} is used as substrate which is
not supposed to be involved too much into the dynamical process of whole
system. Therefore, a simple Au-Au force constant should be great helpful.

Regards, Tianying
