Abstract
A microscopic expression of the surface resistivity for semi-infinite metallic systems is derived by linear response theory. It coincides with the semi-classical one based on the Boltzmann equation, if the probability of diffuse scattering at the surface was independent of the direction of scattered waves. For adsotbates on flat jellium surfaces, it is shown that the resistivity is related with the electronic friction force and the “electron-wind” force exerted on the adsorbate by simple equations. Results of ab-initio calculations are presented of the resistivity of isolated atoms and molecules on semi-infinite jellium substrates.
