Electronic stopping power for different elements and inelastic energy loss in collision cascades

Abstract

The expectation value of the electronic stopping power is obtained for different bombarding ions with different bombarding energies impinging in an Ag target. A universal form is fitted to the computer data of high reliability for this case. Energy losses are calculated in the cases of uniatomic bombardment of other element, too. The dependence of the bombarding particle energy and atomic number on the distribution function of e inelastic andEL elastic energy loss are examined in simulated cascades in Al, Ag and Au targets.
