Experimental and theoretical determination of the stopping power of ZrO sub(2) films for protons and alpha -particles

We report the results of an experimental-theoretical study on the stopping power of ZrO sub(2) films for swift H and He ion beams. The experiments, using the Rutherford Backscattering technique, were done for protons with incident energies in the range 200-1500 keV and for alpha -particle beams with...

Description
Summary:We report the results of an experimental-theoretical study on the stopping power of ZrO sub(2) films for swift H and He ion beams. The experiments, using the Rutherford Backscattering technique, were done for protons with incident energies in the range 200-1500 keV and for alpha -particle beams with energies in the range 160-3000 keV. The theoretical calculations were done in the framework of the dielectric formalism using the MELF-GOS model to account for the ZrO sub(2) target electronic response. It is shown that for both ion beams, the agreement between theory and experiment is quite remarkable.
