Abstract
Recent electron-energy-loss measurements on Si(111)-7\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7 have been analyzed to obtain the temperature-dependent surface resistivity, which is found to take the form \ensuremath{\rho}=${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{0}$+\ensuremath{\alpha}T where T is the temperature and \ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\approxeq}174 \ensuremath{\Omega}/K.
