## Description

- description: Injecting high-energy heavy ions in the electronic stopping regime
    into solids can create cylindrical damage zones calledlatention tracks. Although
    these tracks form in many materials, none have ever been observed in diamond,
    even when irradiated with high-energy GeV uranium ions. Here we report the first
    observation of ion track formation in diamond irradiated with 2–9MeV C60 fullerene
    ions. Depending on the ion energy, the mean track length (diameter) changed from
    17 (3.2) nm to 52 (7.1) nm. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy
    (HR-STEM) indicated the amorphization in the tracks, in which π-bonding signal
    from graphite was detected by the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Since
    the melting transition is not induced in diamond at atmospheric pressure, conventional
    inelastic thermal spike calculations cannot be applied. Two-temperature molecular
    dynamics simulations succeeded in the reproduction of both the track formation
    under MeV C60 irradiations and the no-track formation under GeV monoatomic ion
    irradiations.
