description

Theoretical calculations of the stopping power of the electron gas for slow ions, v${v}_{F}$, are reviewed. New results are presented for stopping power and effective charge based on nonlinear density-functional calculations. Extensive comparisons with available experimental data show that these new theoretical results are clearly superior to earlier calculations based on linear theory.
