Abstract

The contribution from excitation of electron-hole pairs in the substrate to the sliding friction of an adsorbed monolayer of rare gas atoms on a metal surface is estimated from surface resistivity data. This contribution is found to be consistent with some recent measurements of the sliding friction of a Kr monolayer on a “smooth” Ag surface using a quartz-crystal microbalance.
