Abstract

Rutherford backscattering at two different angles on multilayer targets is used to measure the stopping cross sections for hydrogen in five amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide compounds (a-Si x C 1− x :H) in the energy range from 30 keV/amu to 320 keV/amu. The measured stopping cross sections are compared to the values calculated by means of Bragg's rule. It is found that SiC chemical bonding effects limit the validity of this additivity law at energies near and below the stopping cross section maximum while CH bonding effects are important throughout the whole energy range.
