Stopping powers of Mylar, Kapton, Havar, and nickel for 0.27--1.94 MeV/amu {sup 11}B ions, 1.27--2.07 MeV/amu {sup 12}C, 0.58--1.80 MeV/amu {sup 14}N, and for 0.67--1.78 MeV/amu {sup 16}O ions have been determined. Energy loss and stopping powers of Mylar were measured for {sup 27}Al, {sup 28}Si, {sup 31}P, {sup 32}S, and {sup 35}Cl ions having energies between 7.6 and 24.6 MeV. Direct beam exposure of the foils was avoided by using a modified transmission geometry. Proton-energy loss, in the same geometry and at exactly the spot of the heavy-ion beam on the foils, was taken as a measure of foil thickness. The present data are brought together with our recent measurements of the stopping powers of the materials in this study for {sup 7}Li, {sup 11}B, {sup 12}C, {sup 14}N, and {sup 16}O ions. The experimental stopping powers are compared with predictions of two semiempirical scaling models, used in conjunction with Bragg's additivity rule, and with the stopping powers obtained by the TRIM-89 computer code. Comparisons have also been performed with the scanty experimental data in the literature. The systematics and the deviations of the stopping powers from the calculated predictions are discussed.
