In studying the role of radiation damage in $\mathrm{H^+ + Al}$ interactions Correa {\emph et al} \cite{Correa_2012} have shown that the electronic excitations due to molecular dynamics (MD) are quite different from the adiabatic outcome. Even today the inclusion of non adiabatic effects in a real calculation poses a challenging problem. Recently Schleife {\emph et al} \cite{Schleife_2015} have calculated the electronic stopping $\mathrm(S_\text{e})$ by $\mathrm{H}$ and $\mathrm{He}$ projectile including non-adiabatic interactions and found that off-channeling trajectories along with the inclusion of semicore electrons enhance $\mathrm{S_\text{e}}$ resulting better agreement with the experiment.     Recently Uddin {\emph et al.} \cite{Alfaz_Uddin_2013} have calculated stopping cross sections for various media with atomic number $Z=2$ to $100$ using realistic electron density with four fitted parameters and obtained close $\sim 15\%$  agreement($better agreement with the experiment$)  with the \textsc{Srim} data. Using a single formula with fewer parameters Haque {\emph et al.} \cite{Haque_2015} have reported proton impact $\mathrm{SCS}$ with encouraging results. In the low energy region the energy loss in metal is due to the excitation of a portion of electrons around the Fermi level to empty states in the conducting band. But at higher energies, a minimum momentum transfer of the projectile is possible due to its short duration close to the target. In this region the electronic curve has a maximum due to the limited response time of target electrons to the projectile ions.
