35. These values are estimated as an upper limit from the line width in the momentum distribution of the experimental band structure in Sb/Cu(111).

38. As we expect the spin splitting in the Cu(111) surface state to be smaller than for the Ag(111) surface state, we have set the values to zero for the purpose of this work.
