In this paper it is demonstrated how to use quantum-chemical electronic Structure calculations to estimate the values of the entropic parameters in a mathematical model Of Surface conductance. Entropy changes involved in both charge-carrier-hopping and desorption processes are considered. The model is then fit to experimental data for the temperature dependence of Surface conductance of gamma-alumina and the best-fit values of the entropic parameters are compared to those obtained by quantum-chemical calculations.
