A study of threshold effects in the energy loss of slow protons in semiconductors and insulators using dielectric and non-linear approaches

The energy loss of slow protons in nonconducting materials, including semiconductors and insulators, is studied using different theoretical methods. First we apply two dielectric models proposed by Brandt and Reinheimer on one side, and by Levine and Louie on the other, and describe in detail the pr...
