Electronic Stopping Power of Matter for Ions

Hydrogen Ions on Atoms and Compounds

In the following table you can find the electronic stopping power of H ions in atomic and molecular targets, plotted versus the projectile energy. The reference codes are explained in the list of all data references, and the curve designations in the list of stopping power tables and programs.

For each ion-target, you can download the graphs as images and also as origin plots, and the data as ascii files.

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.

The list of data for hydrogen ions previous to 2016 can be downloaded here. In this list, every line corresponds to one data file. The targets are ordered alphabetically. The headings in the list have the following meaning:

M	Mass Number of Projectile
Eq. Energy	Equivalent Proton Energy, i.e., energy of a proton of equal speed
Error	Error in percent. "e" means estimate.
Ref.	Reference Code, see list of all data references
Meas.	Number of measurement within the publication (you don’t need that!)/p>
Method	Method of measurement according to classification by Paul, Semrad and Seilinger, Table 5
Ag.	State of aggregation (s: solid; g: gaseous). G: graphite (as opposed to amorphous carbon)
File	File designation: the file name Al.005, e.g., means file number 5 for hydrogen ions on Al.
