We present a formalism and numerical results for the energy loss of a charged particle scattered at an arbitrary angle from epitaxially grown multilayer graphene (MLG). It is compared with that of free-standing graphene layers. Specifically, we investigated the effect of the substrate induced energy gap on one of the layers. The gap yields collective plasma oscillations whose characteristics are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those produced by Dirac fermions in gapless graphene. The range of wave numbers for undamped self-sustaining plasmons is increased as the gap is increased, thereby increasing and red-shifting the MLG stopping power for some range of charged particle velocity. We also applied our formalism to interpret several distinct features of experimentally obtained electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) data.
