In this study the model suggested by Sugiyama has been developed and applied for the calculation of the stopping powers for nonrelativistic heavy ions in various target materials. Sugiyama's model has been expanded to low and high energy regions in our work. Analytical expressions are obtained in the modified BB stopping power formula for the effective charge and effective mean excitation energies. In the modified LSS formula, a quasi-molecule criterion has been applied to both the projectiles and the target atoms. Electronic excitation contribution, S e0 , and quasi-molecule contribution, S ei , to stopping power were found for a wide energy region. It is observed that in intermediate energy region both contributions have maxima. The stopping power due to excitation-ionization in the intermediate and higher energy region is found to be dominant, whereas quasi-molecule contribution is dominant in the lower energy region. The calculated results of stopping power are in good agreement with experimental data for various ions and targets within a few percent in a wide projectile energy range.
