Notes. The different samples irradiated with different ions and energies E are listed. The corresponding electronic stopping cross sections Se, ratios between nuclear and electronic stopping cross sections Sn/Se, the projected ranges Rp, i.e. the length the ion covers in the target material before stopping, and the sample thicknesses d are indicated. For each experiment, the ranges of the ion and energy fluxes ΦI and ΦE, the irradiation times Tirr, and the maximum ion and energy fluences reached FI,max and FE,max are also reported.

The projected ranges for experiments in Catania, where the ion incident angle is αion = 45°, were multiplied by cosαion to take the effective thickness (in the direction of the ion beam) of the irradiated sample into account.
