Abstract

We discuss the mechanisms responsible for the energy loss of ions in solids to electronic excitations in two speed regimes: (i) low velocities ( v < v F, v F being the Fermi velocity), where the scattering of electrons at the Fermi level determines the stopping and (ii) intermediate velocities (around the stopping power maximum), where the relevance of the charge exchange of electrons between the target atoms and the projectile, as well as the dynamic screening of the interaction, is shown.
