Abstract

Abstract We calculate the stopping power and the energy lost by a low energy ion approaching and crossing the surface of a semi-infinite medium at normal incidence. The specular reflection model is used to describe the behaviour of the medium. The contribution to the energy loss due to surface and bulk excitations is analyzed in terms of the excitation of electron-hole pairs and damped plasmons.
