Abstract
The energy loss straggling of swift C-12 and O-16 ions at energies fro m 0.5 to 1.5 MeV/amu passing through C foils has been measured. The in homogeneity of the foils, which is the most significant experimental e rror in determining the energy straggling for solid targets, was studi ed with a high resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a sca nning tunnelling microscope (STM). Comparison between the empirical fo rmula for energy straggling and the present measurements has been made to verify the reliability of the formula.
