Abstract: Experimental evidence of light induced drift of sodium atoms in absence of wall adsorption is here reported. The adsorption energy is reduced down to ~ 0.1 eV by coating the cell with a thin and transparent film of silane which lowers the adsorption time to ~ 10-12 s and inhibits the formation of a sodium monolayer. The drift velocity is evaluated to be in agreement with the theoretical calculations.
