24. In the case of the HB surface, the interatomic distances are similar to the He size. On the other hand, the Armand correction also applies to the specular peak for which we did not observed a different behavior with respect the specular peak of the MT one. Therefore within the experimental sensitivity, the Armand effect is negligible for both the MT and HB surfaces.
25. c and it is likely there is a correction. On the other hand, the experimental trend of the elastic intensities does not show any anomalous behaviour in the range 40-100 K indicating a small correction.
