Abstract
The average time required for an energetic ion or primary knock‐on atom to slow down in a structureless solid has been calculated using a Thomas‐Fermi interaction potential and electronic stopping power which is proportional to the velocity. The relevance of this time to radiation damage production is discussed.Keywords
