Ion tracks in silicon formed by much lower energy deposition than the track formation threshold

Abstract Damaged regions of cylindrical shapes called ion tracks, typically in nano-meters wide and tens micro-meters long, are formed along the ion trajectories in many insulators, when high energy ions in the electronic stopping regime are injected. In most cases, the ion tracks were assumed as co...
