In the following table you can find the electronic stopping power of ions from K to U in atomic and molecular targets, as a function of 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. Work is ongoing to provide data files for all ion-targets.
For some ions, there are also "universal plots" showing all the data obtained for a same projectile. These data are divided by the electronic alpha stopping powers from ICRU Report 49, and normalized in such a way that they approach unity at high energy.
At present, graphs are available for the following atomic and molecular targets:

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 heavy ions, this data is enumerated in detail here. In the 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. |
