SRIM is a software package concerning the S topping and R ange of I ons in M atter. Since its introduction in 1985, major upgrades are made about every six years. Currently, more than 700 scientific citations are made to SRIM every year. For SRIM-2010 , the following major improvements have been made: (1) About 2800 new experimental stopping powers were added to the database, increasing it to over 28,000 stopping values. (2) Improved corrections were made for the stopping of ions in compounds. (3) New heavy ion stopping calculations have led to significant improvements on SRIM stopping accuracy. (4) A self-contained SRIM module has been included to allow SRIM stopping and range values to be controlled and read by other software applications. (5) Individual interatomic potentials have been included for all ion/atom collisions, and these potentials are now included in the SRIM package. A full catalog of stopping power plots can be downloaded at www.SRIM.org . Over 500 plots show the accuracy of the stopping and ranges produced by SRIM along with 27,000 experimental data points. References to the citations which reported the experimental data are included.

SRIM : the stopping and range of ions in matter

The stopping and range of ions in matter is physically very complex, and there are few simple approximations which are accurate. However, if modern calculations are performed, the ion distributions can be calculated with good accuracy, typically better than 10%. This review will be in several sections: 
 
a) 
 
A brief exposition of what can be determined by modern calculations. 
 
 
 
 
b) 
 
A review of existing widely-cited tables of ion stopping and ranges. 
 
 
 
 
c) 
 
A review of the calculation of accurate ion stopping powers.

stopping and range of ions in solids

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the well-known cases of doping of bulk semiconductors and ion beam nitriding of steels, recent experiments show that irradiation can also have beneficial effects on nanostructured systems. Electron or ion beams may serve as tools to synthesize nanoclusters and nanowires, change their morphology in a controllable manner, and tailor their mechanical, electronic, and even magnetic properties. Harnessing irradiation as a tool for modifying material properties at the nanoscale requires having the full microscopic picture of defect production and annealing in nanotargets. In this article, we review recent progress in the understanding of effects of irradiation on various zero-dimensional and one-dimensional nanoscale systems, such as semiconductor and metal nanoclusters and nanowires, nanotubes, and fullerenes. We also consider the t...

Ion and electron irradiation-induced effects in nanostructured materials

This article reviews the historical scientific interest in the stopping of ions in compounds. A brief survey is made of the experimental and theoretical scientific status of this field to date. Finally, a simple method is described and evaluated to calculate the stopping of ions in compounds based on the details of the molecular bonding of the material. Results are compared with over 100 experimental stopping values for a variety of ions in many compounds. Agreement between experiment and theory averages about 1%.

The stopping of ions in compounds

The effective charge of energetic ions as it pertains to the stopping power of solids is calculated in a dielectric-response approximation. The density distribution of $N$ electrons bound in an ion of atomic number ${Z}_{1}$ is given by a variational statistical approximation. The effective charge $Z_{1}^{}{}_{}{}^{*}e$ is always larger than the ionic charge ${Q}_{1}=({Z}_{1}\ensuremath{-}N)e$, because of close collisions. A comprehensive low-velocity formula predicts $Z_{1}^{}{}_{}{}^{*}e$ for given $Q$ as a function of the ratio between the ion size and the mean electron spacing in the medium. At high velocities one obtains a partition rule of stopping powers for the effective charge of ionic projectiles. The results are compared with new precision stopping-power measurements on C, Al, and Au with $_{7}\mathrm{N}$ ions.
