30. Other calculations give a much higher value (0.85 ) for the Bi relaxation in Bi/Ag(111) (Ref.). Nevertheless, the same reference gives a Pb relaxation in Pb/Ag(111) consistently higher than that observed experimentally [J. Dalmas, H. Oughaddou, C. Leandri, J. M. Gay, G. Le Gay, G. Treglia, B. Aufray, O. Bunk, and R. L. Johnson, Phys. Rev. B 72, 155424 (2005)]. 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.155424
