A comparative study of threshold effects in the energy loss moments of protons, electrons and positrons using dielectric models for band-gap materials

A comparative study of the energy loss, mean free path and straggling of protons, positrons and electrons in an electron gas is performed using three dielectric models which represent the case of metals (Lindhard model for a free electron gas) and the cases of semiconductors and insulators (Levine a...
