The influence of many-body effects on surface state lifetimes, and in particular the role of the electron-phonon coupling, has recently attracted considerable attention. For temperatures higher than the surface Debye temperature, the situation is expected to be very simple: The inverse surface state lifetime depends linearly on the temperature with the slope mainly given by the electron-phonon mass enhancement parameter λ. Here we present results for the surface state on Al(001) which turns out to behave differently: for high temperatures a stronger than linear increase of the inverse lifetime is observed. The experimental results are compared to first-principles calculations and possible reasons for the unexpected temperature dependence are discussed.
