The Bethe stopping power (or Bethe
equation) was modified by Joy and Luo [1] and is given by,
----------------------------- [4422]
where, E -- Energy of the electron (in eV)
Z -- Atomic number
A -- Atomic weight
ρ -- Density of the material (in g/cm3)
K -- Modification coefficient, which depends on target materials
and can be obtained by the relation
K = 0.734 Z0.037 [2]
J -- Mean ionization potential (in
eV)
