Description
Summary:Lindhard's dielectric theory of energy loss is applied to the stopping of energetic ions in solids. The Lindhard formalism, in combination with the local density approximation and the concept of effective charge, is used to calculate the stopping powers of heavy ions in many targets and over a wide range of projectile energies. Theoretical calculated stopping powers are compared with available experimental data. Published in the Journal of Applied Physics, v51 n2 p984-987, Feb 1980.
