Electronic stopping power of compounds was calculated by using the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsacker density functional. Bragg's rule was employed to determine stopping power of compounds from the elemental stopping power results. Calculations were done for Be, B, O, and Si ions in Al2O3, SiO2 and CO2 targets by using the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsacker density functional. The obtained results were compared with other Thomas-Fermi based theoretical calculations and show that using Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsacker density functional in stopping power calculations yields reasonably accurate results in especially light (with respect to the number of elections in the system).
