Calculation of Projected Range of Electrons in Some Elemental Solids and Gases

Abstract

Projected ranges of electrons in some elemental solids and gases of atomic number between 4 and 18 (Be, C, N, Na, Al, Si and Ar) have been obtained by a method based on a discontinuous slowing down model in the slowing down of an electron from an certain energy E to a minimum energy E min. The incident energies of electrons considered are from 0.06 to 3 MeV. The obtained projected ranges of electrons have been compared to the values in previous work.
