Abstract
It is well known that molecules feel a long-ranged attractive force to metals which arises from the interaction of various molecular charges with their metal-induced “image charges.” Here we calculate (in this image charge model) the friction force coefficients for molecules moving near a metal. We consider the cases of ions, polar molecules, and spherical atoms.
