The Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter

  • Chapter
Treatise on Heavy-Ion Science

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to review the calculation f the stopping and the final range distribution of ions in matter. During the last thirty years there have been published scores of tables and books evaluating the parameters of energetic ion penetration of matter. Rarely have the authors of these reference works included any evaluation of the accuracy of the tabulated numbers. We have chosen to show the development of ion penetration theory by tracing how, as the theory developed through the years, various parts have been incorporated into tables and increased their accuracy. This approach restricts our comments to those theoretical advances which have made significant contributions to the obtaining of practical ion stopping powers and range distributions. The Tables reviewed were chosen because of their extensive citation in the literature.

After the review of ion stopping and range tables, this chapter concludes with a detailed discussion of a modern calculation of ion stopping and scattering in a solid.

This review was written in 1981 and does not contain any of the significant advances made in the four years delay in the publishing of this volume. For a review of recent developments, see Reference 67.
