31. An alternative to the use of a periodic supercell consists in the use of the embedded cluster approximation where the projectile and a small region of the surface are treated fully quantum mechanically while the surrounding part of the crystal is represented by point charges. This approach was used in our previous calculations [11,55].

33. This is because at large distances, the potential curves have an attractive low-energy tail due to the polarization of the He projectile by the surface ions [56]. Convergence of this tail requires large basis sets and a proper inclusion of exchange-correlation effects. Depending on the approximation, the corrugation decreases (Ref. [11]), increases (this work), or remains almost constant (Ref. [22]) with decreasing energy.

41. We note, however, an overestimation of the Rayleigh mode frequency around M by about 10%. We assume that this error is due to the local-density approximation which tends to overbind and may thus overestimate the frequencies of vertical vibrations of the outermost layer. A similar overestimation by 11% of the Rayleigh mode frequency (but for a different reason) was observed in calculations of the surface phonons of LiF by the shell model. For more information on this and other aspects of surface phonons, we refer the reader to the review in Ref. [57].
