A semiempirical method based on the LSS formalism for estimating electronic energy loss

Electronic stopping power of polymers for heavy ions in the ion energy domain of LSS theory

“…Over the time, with the availability of experimental values, a few attempts were made to check the validity of LSS theory and some serious limitations have been observed. Many authors (Aras et al, 1965;Hontzeas and Blok, 1971;Izmen et al, 1974;Laichter and Shafrir, 1981;Banerjee et al, 1986) tried to modify constant factor z involved in the theory, however, for a very limited number of ion-target combinations only.…”
