As one of the essential components in the recently discovered group of topological insulators [1], the semimetal antimony (Sb) is an attractive candidate for studying the properties of its surface. Quite recently the surface phonon dispersion curve of Sb(111) as well as the influences of e-ph interaction were calculated using DFPT [2]. Helium Atom Scattering allows to investigate elastic as well as inelastic phenomena associated with structure and dynamics of the electronic corrugation slightly above the Sb(111) surface. Using exact approaches such as the Close-Coupling-Method, a fundamental analysis of the surface corrugation is possible. Furthermore, this approach can be extended to include inelastic interactions [3,4], rendering the measurement of the mode-selective electron-phonon interaction constant possible. The complete procedure, beginning with the determination of the three dimensional static interaction potential to the evaluation of the mode-selected electron-phonon interaction, will be presented.
