This document summarizes technical progress made on `High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Studies of Surface Vibrations` (DE-FG02-84ER45147). The project was concerned with the measurement of surface vibrational waves (phonons) on a variety of materials, in particular the dispersion of these waves at short wavelengths. The principal experimental method employed was high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) at an energy resolution of {approximately} 5 MeV (40 cm{sup {minus}1}) and momentum resolution of {approximately} .02{Angstrom}{sup {minus}1}. New experimental information on a variety of metals, overlayer structures, ultrathin films and copper oxide materials were obtained as summarized in the document. 27 refs., 1 fig
