Abstract

We present a first principle study of the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction at the Be(0001) surface. The real and imaginary part of the e-p self energy are calculated for the surface state in the binding energy range from the Γˉ\bar{\Gamma} point to the Fermi level. Our calculation shows an overall good agreement with several photoemission data measured at high and low temperatures. Additionally, we show that the energy derivative of real part of the self-energy presents a strong temperature and energy variation close to EFE_{F}, making it difficult to measure its value just at EFE_{F}.
