Electronic Stopping Power of Matter for Ions

Graphs, Data, Comments and Programs

Last update: 23 May, 2019 (see Updates)


This site contains experimental stopping power data published since the 1930s. The collection considers all ions and targets: solids (amorphous or polycrystalline), gases, elements and compounds, including new materials such as polymers, oxides and silicates. It treats the "electronic" stopping power assuming that "nuclear" stopping has been subtracted.

Detailed information on the content and organization of the database is provided in the Introduction page. Some historical facts are also available on the About page.

Graphs, origin files and data files can be downloaded from the tables for Hydrogen Ions, Helium Ions, and Heavier Ions.

Not all the data in the database are available in graphs and origin files in the tables, however work is in progress to make the tables complete.
