▎ 摘 要
We use first-principles calculations to uncover and explain a new type of anomalous low-velocity stopping effect in proton-irradiated graphene. We attribute a shoulder feature that occurs exclusively for channeling protons to enhanced electron capture from sigma- and and pi-orbitals. Our analysis of electron emission indicates that backward emission is more sensitive to proton trajectory than forward emission and could thus produce higher contrast images in ion microscopy. For slow protons, we observe a steep drop in emission, consistent with predictions from analytical models.
