Abstract

In this chapter we will deal with other adsorption systems where each of them shows strong peculiarities with respect to the resistivity properties. We start with the discussion of Xenon adsorption on silver and gold films. Here, a noble gas is adsorbed on noble metals and so the adsorption bond should be extremely weak. A reconstruction of the surface can be excluded in this case, and both systems should provide an excellent basis for the application of Eq. (2.8). On the other hand, CO adsorption on silver and gold films exhibits more complicated features because the molecules are adsorbed with the molecule axis perpendicular to the film surface [1] and so a strong lateral interaction is to be expected [2].
