29. We comment here about the model calculation result, λ=0.23, for the Γ̄ surface state on Al(001) (Ref. 26) and the ab initio calculation value, λ=0.51 (Ref.). While at EF both computations give fairly close λ values [0.55 (Ref.) and 0.44 (Ref.)] at the Γ̄ surface state the model calculation λ is significantly smaller than the ab initio one. We attribute this discrepancy to the use of the Ashcroft pseudopotential in the model calculation. The one-parameter Ashcroft pseudopotential reproduces correctly the electron scattering at the Fermi surface while it is essentially less accurate for energies far from EF. It is the case of the Γ̄ surface state on Al(001).
