摘要
Complex dielectric function formalism is applied to obtain the cross-sections, mean free path of electrons, and energy losses of swift heavy ions (SHI) in solid LiF and Y2O3 out of the experimentally known loss function. The calculated electron inelastic mean free paths in these materials agree very well with the NIST database; the inelastic energy losses of swift Pb and Au ions agree well with those calculated with the widely used SRIM and CasP codes. The obtained cross-sections are used in Monte Carlo simulations of the electronic kinetics after SHI impacts. The radial distributions of the electron and valence hole densities as well as their energy densities were calculated. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
