We present an ab initio study of the electronic stopping power of protons in copper over a wide range of proton velocities $v = 0.01-10~\mathrm{a.u.}$.
Time-dependent density functional theory coupled with molecular dynamics is used to study electronic excitations produced by energetic protons.
A plane-wave pseudopotential scheme is employed to solve the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations for a moving ion %$\mathrm{H^+}$ ion
in a periodic
crystal. %$\mathrm{Cu}$ crystal.
These electronic excitations determine the stopping power of the material and alter the interatomic forces for both channeling and off-channeling trajectories.
Our off-channeling results are in quantitative agreement with experiments, and at low velocity they unveil a crossover region of superlinear velocity dependence (with exponent $\sim 1.5$) in the velocity range $v = 0.1-0.3~\mathrm{a.u.}$ that we associate to the copper crystalline electronic band structure.
The results are rationalized by simple band models in separate regimes.
