Abstract
We propose a massless nonminimally coupled scalar field as a mechanism for stabilizing the size of the extradimension in the Randall-Sundrum I scenario. Without needing to introduce self interactions terms we obtain a potential for the modulus field that sets the size of the fifth dimension. The minumum of this potential yields appropriate values of the compactification scale for small values of the coupling .
