| Abstract: | Thin films of Cs, quench condensed onto a He cold quartz plate, possess electronic mean free paths which considerably exceed
the film thicknesses. When theses films are covered in situ with sub monolayers of Au, Ag, In, Rh and Pb in the range between 0.01 and 1 monolayers the film resistance and the Hall
constant increase dramatically. This corresponds to a scattering cross section of the surface impurities which is larger than
1 in units of Various models are explored to explain these unusual behavior. None yields a satisfactory explanation for this extremely
strong effect of surface impurities on the resistance and the Hall effect.
