Abstract
The rate of the heat transfer from the excited electrons to the ion lattice in swift heavy ion tracks in metals considerably deviates from the predictions of the electron-phonon coupling model. Due to the short times of the electron gas cooling down this rate is insensitive to a particular atomic structure of irradiated metals. For the initial temperature of the excited electrons in the track as high as ∼100 eV the local lattice temperature increase below 1000 K is predicted, which is insufficient to melt the majority of metals.
