Electronic Stopping Power of Matter for Ions

Heavy Ions, from K to U, on Atoms and Compounds


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

Some systems with only one or two sets of measurements (and published before 2016) have not been plotted yet. In any case, the data is in this database and the WHOLE DATABASE (since 1929 to the present, for any ion-target system) can be downloaded here.

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.

For heavy ions, the list of all data previous to 2016 is enumerated 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.
