The resultant wave functions were then propagated for several femtoseconds.  The total electronic energy ($E$) of the system changes as a function of the projectile position ($x$) since the projectile (forced to maintain its velocity) deposits energy into the electronic system as it moves through the host atoms.   The increase of $E$ as a function of projectile displacement $x$ enables us to extract the electronic stopping power. $\mathrm(S_\text{e})$.  \begin{equation}  S_\text{e}(x) = \frac{\mathrm{d}E(x)}{\mathrm{d}x}
