Abstract

We consider a model based on the thermal spike concept for an explanation of latent track formation in YBa2Cu3O7−x single crystal. The model demonstrates some interesting peculiarities such as “electronic quenching” and the existence of bifurcation points. Arguments for why the energy spent on damage creation in the track should be equal to the melting heat and why the so-called “epitaxial regrowth” is impossible are given.
