Abstract
Profiles of the Rb-, Cs- and Fr-ions in Ar- and N2-gases have been calculated at energies 20–100 keV using the Monte-Carlo method and potentials calculated from the Dirac-Fock electron distributions for single atoms. Good agreement with the recent range measurements of Sidenius is found for mean ranges and relative widths. The molecular effect is found to increase the ranges by 2–6% and the widths by 2–12%. Our calculations based on the modified LSS-theory agree with the Monte-Carlo calculations.Keywords
