stopping range

[′stäp·iŋ ‚rānj]
(nuclear physics)
A postulated energy range for extremely high-energy heavy-ion collisions in which the target stops the projectile and the protons and neutrons of target and projectile are mixed together in a fireball forming a quark-gluon plasma.

Hence after the measurement of energy the penetration depth of ions into the substrate was measured by using SRIM 2008 (Stopping Range of Ions into the Matter) software.
As these ions were penetrated deeper into the substrate material, after reaching the stopping range of the ions these ions were bonded with the carbon atoms of the inner surface.
