a

KER stands for the kinetic energy of protons with a residual range equal to the step limit set in the simulation.

b

The electronic stopping power, Sel, was calculated using the pstar program (Ref. 40) for the kinetic energy of protons, KER.

c

ε/ls is the quotient of KER and step limit set in the simulation.
