Abstract
The electronic contribution to friction between an atomically flat metal su rface and a dielectric layer absorbed on the surface is calculated. The fri ction force decreases abruptly at the transition of the metal to the superc onducting state. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-3640(99)011 07-X].
