Among the measurable quantities associated to the interaction between ions and solid, solids,  the stopping power $\mathrm(S)$ \cite{Ferrell_1977} has received much attention; it provided information regarding the energy transfer between the incoming projectile and the solid target. Various models and theories have been proposed to calculate stopping cross sections; even today a unified \emph{ab initio} theoretical approach suitable for different projectiles and energies isnot available  in the literature. its developing stages.  Employing the First Born Approximation (FBA), Bethe \cite{Bethe_1930_EN} has reported the calculation of inelastic and ionization cross section. The Bloch correction \cite{Bloch_1933} provides a convenient link between the Bohr and the Bethe scheme. Fermi and Teller \cite{Fermi_1947} using electron gas models had reported electronic stopping for various targets. The Bethe formula for stopping has been studied in details by Lindhard and Winther \cite{Lindhard_Winther} on the basis of the generalized linear-response theory. All these models require ad-hoc assumptions for studying stopping processes.   For calculating electronic stopping in metals there are few reviews (\cite{Race_2010} (for example, Ref.~\cite{Race_2010}  and references therein).
