Electronic Stopping Power of Matter for Ions

Introduction to Graphs and Data

This collection of stopping power measurements starts with the data by Rosenblum in 1928, and is continuously updated. All files (figures, data) are open and can be downloaded freely.
Although the collection is very large, it may be not complete.
It is about electronic stopping power, the nuclear stopping is small, or has been subtracted by the authors.
The results can be downloaded from the tables for hydrogen ions, helium ions and heavier ions. There you can find the whole updated compilation and figures for each ion-target stopping power.
Since 2016 every set of measurements published in international journals is included and plotted. All the data is available in ascii files that can be downloaded from the tables together with each graph.
Every symbol in the graphs corresponds to a data point; the letters correspond to different publications as explained here. The curves in the graphs have their own reference codes here.
Figures are included as gif and as origin files, both can be downloaded from this website. The origin pictures are the sources for the gif ones, so by using the Origin plotting software you can open these files, change scales and symbols, and get access to all the numerical values (measured points and curves).
Not all data in the database has been plotted yet, though work is in progress to provide plots for all of them. Some systems with only one or two sets of measurements compiled before 2016, have not been plotted yet. In any case, the data is in this database and can be downloaded here.
For some heavy ions there are universal plots, where all the data for the particular ion are shown on one graph. These plots are updated until 2015.
There is a separate site on oscillations: graphs showing the stopping power as a function of the atomic number of ion or target. Since 2009 to 2015, tables of Optical Oscillator Strengths have also been added for several elements. There is also a separate site summarizing the statistical analyses (the work by H. Paul and A. Schinner in 2001, 2003 and 2005).
