Abstract
The energy-loss effect of the projectile for direct inner-shell ionization cross sections by charged-particle impact has been examined. The relativistic and nonrelativistic calculations for K-shell ionization with and without the energy-loss effect are made in the plane-wave Born approximation and compared with the Brandt-Lapicki theory for the corrections of the relativistic and energy-loss effect. It is demonstrated that the Brandt-Lapicki method gives a good approximation to both relativistic and nonrelativistic cross sections, which implicitly take into account the energy-loss effect. However, the use of the Brandt-Lapicki relativistic correction method in the nonrelativistic theory with the exact integration limits for energy and momentum transfer overestimates the relativistic calculations for low-energy projectiles. This indicates that the Brandt-Lapicki method for correction of the electronic relativistic effect should be used only with their energy-loss correction method.
