Note publique d'information : The aim of the book is to give an actual survey on the resistivity of thin metal and
semiconductor films interacting with gases. We discuss the influence of the substrate
material and the annealing treatment of the films, presenting our experimental data
as well as theoretical models to calculate the scattering cross section of the conduction
electrons in the frame-work of the scattering hypothesis. Main emphasis is laid on
the comparison of gold and silver films which exhibit nearly the same lattice structure
but differ in their chemical activity. In conclusion, the most important quantity
for the interpretation is the surface charging z while the correlation with the optical
data or the frustrated IR vibrations seems the show a more material-specific character.
Z can be calculated on the basis of the density functional formalism or the self-consistent
field approximation using Mulliken’s population analysis
