Abstract

The electron stopping power has been measured for twelve elements and fifteen compounds, over the energy range from 1 eV to 10 keV, by the analysis of electron energy loss spectra, optical data, and photon mass absorption data. Values of the effective mean ionization potential Jeff and the effective number of participating electrons Neff have also been determined in each case. The results obtained have been compared with other experimental data, with first-principles theoretical calculations, and with a number of proposed analytical models.
