Stopping power for heavy ions (3 ≤ Z ≤ 35) in elemental targets (6 ≤ Z ≤ 79) at energies ∼ 0.5 - 2.5 MeV/n

Passage of heavy ions through matter and evaluation of associated energy loss have widespread and well-known applications in diverse discipline. The basic input parameter required for heavy ion's stopping power calculation is its effective charge, which is determined using empirical/ semi-empirical relations. In the present work, with the availability of experimental data the fitting parameters have been modified to make it applicable in the energy range ∼ 0.5 to 2.5 MeV/n
