## Description

- description: Injecting high-energy heavy ions into solids can create cylindrical
    damage zones called ion tracks. The most accepted mechanism for ion track formation
    is the inelastic thermal spike (i-TS) model in which molten regions induced by
    large energy deposition along the ion trajectories transform to tracks after quenching.
    However, diamond, which is in a meta-stable state, does not melt with heating
    but transforms to a stable state (i.e., graphite). While no tracks have ever been
    observed in diamond, we successfully formed tracks under MeV C60 ion irradiation.
    Track formation via a non-melting route is presented herein.
