REMARKS ON STOPPING POWER - ITS CONNECTIONS WITH PARTICLE TRANSPORT AND WITH THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF MATTER

摘要

This article presents remarks on the meaning of stopping power and of its magnitude. More precisely, the first set of remarks concerns the connection of stopping power with elements of particle-transport theory, which describes particle transport and its consequences in full detail, including its stochastic aspects. The second set of remarks concerns the magnitude of the stopping power of a material and its relation with the material's electronic structure and other properties. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
