Oen, Ordean S.; Robinson, Mark T.

The average time required for an energetic ion or primary knock-on atom to slow down in a structureless solid has been calculated using a Thomas-Fermi interaction potential and electronic stopping power which is proportional to the velocity. The relevance of this time to radiation damage production is discussed.
