Abstract

We investigate the thermalization of low-energy cascades of displacements in solids using methods of nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. We investigate the time evolution of the quasi temperature of cascade particles taking the phonon scattering on dislodged atoms and the thermal recombination of defects into account. We use the obtained quasi-temperature time dependence to study the activated process—sputtering in the thermal spike region.
