Electronic Stopping Power of Matter for Ions
Introduction to Graphs and Data
- This is a compilation of electronic stopping power data,
with the assumption that the nuclear stopping is small, or has been subtracted by the authors. Although the collection is very large, it may not be complete.
- The compilation is displayed in four separate tables for
H,
He,
Li to Ar, and
K to U ions, respectively.
-
For each ion, targets are listed in alphabetic order (both atoms and compounds).
-
The data can be downloaded from these tables in ascii files and graphs.
Not all data are available in graphical form, but work is in progress to produce graphs for all of them.
- Letters are used as symbols in the graphs, and
each letter corresponds to a different set of measurements, with corresponding bibliographic reference included in this
list.
The curves in the graphs have their own reference codes and corresponding bibliographic reference
here.
- Graphs are provided both as gif and origin files.
The origin plots are the sources for the gif graphs.
-
The entire compilation of stopping power data can be
downloaded here.
- Universal plots, where all the data for the particular ion are shown on one graph, are available for some heavy ions.
These plots were updated until 2015.
- Graphs showing the stopping power as a function of the atomic number of the ion or target are provided in
Oscillations. Tables of Optical Oscillator Strengths are also available for several elements (2009-2015).
The analysis of the data by H. Paul and A. Schinner (2001, 2003, 2005) can be found in Statistical Analysis.
