Title: Polarizational stopping power of heavy-ion diclusters in two-dimensional electron liquids

Abstract

The in-plane polarizational stopping power of heavy-ion diclusters in a two-dimensional strongly coupled electron liquid is studied. Analytical expressions for the stopping power of both fast and slow projectiles are derived. To go beyond the random-phase approximation we make use of the inverse dielectric function obtained by means of the method of moments and some recent analytical expressions for the static local-field correction factor.

    The velocity dependence of the stopping power of a two-dimensional noninteracting electron gas for heavy in-plane ions is calculated. The transport cross section required in the kinetic treatment is determined for a bare Coulomb potential. Detailed analytical and illustrative numerical results are derived. The problem of screening is also discussed.

    Measurements of stopping powers for several diatomic ions are presented and compared to values derived from well known wake models. While independently determined wake forces can be superposed to calculate correctly the stopping forces on light fast ions, such as H/sub 2//sup +/, the method appears to be invalid for slower, more highly charged N/sub 2//sup +/ ions. To include non-linear terms in the interaction wake charge distributions must be determined for pairs of ionic cores. To avoid the complexities of a proper quantum mechanical treatment a semi-classical calculation of free electron scattering by two screened ionic cores was usedmore » to determine the stopping forces. While a quantum mechanical calculation is needed to obtain a definitive result the semi-classical calculation provides qualitative agreement with experiment for 3 MeV N/sub 2//sup +/ ions in carbon.« less

    A two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) model is proposed to study the wake field and stopping power induced by a nonrelativistic charged particle moving perpendicular to the external magnetic field in two-component plasmas. The effects of the magnetic field on the wake potential and the stopping due to the polarization of both the plasma ions and electrons are discussed. The velocity fields of plasma ions and electrons are investigated, respectively, in the weak and strong magnetic field cases. Our simulation results show that in the case of weak magnetic field and high ion velocity, the wakes exhibit typical V-shaped cone structures andmore » the opening cone angles decrease with the increasing ion velocity. As the magnetic field becomes strong, the wakes lose their typical V-shaped structures and become highly asymmetrical. Similar results can be obtained in the case of low ion velocity and strong magnetic field. In addition, stopping power is calculated and compared with previous one-dimensional and full three-dimensional PIC results.« less

    The stopping power of an ensemble of a large number of fast heavy ions, moving in a plasma, with a distribution function which has small spreads both in the physical and in the velocity spaces, is computed on the basis of a classical dielectric theory, retaining two-ion correlation effects. Averaging procedures in the configuration space are used to determine the actual friction force acting on the whole system and to evaluate the vicinage effects when the ion beam is not strictly monochromatic, as it was considered previously. Approximate analytical scalings with the physical parameters of the considered system of themore » {ital average} {ital vicinage} {ital function} and of the {ital decorrelation} {ital time} are given.« less

    We reconsider the results of Lontano and Raimondi [Phys. Rev. E {bold 51}, R2755 (1995)] within the full random-phase approximation. We show that the correlation and also velocity dispersion of the cluster ions enhance and reduce the stopping power, respectively. Nevertheless, the enhancement of energy losses due to ionic correlation is much stronger than that obtained by Lontano and Raimondi, and furthermore, the projectile velocity dependence of the stopping power is strictly monotonic, presenting no oscillations. We also did not obtain negative values for the cluster stopping power, as did Lontano and Raimondi. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physicalmore » Society}« less
