“…This justifies the assumption of a spherical displacement surface (cf. von Jan and Seeger [13]). Additionally, we assume for this displacement surface a step-like functional dependence on the energy, E,,, transferred from the electrons to the (quasi)crystal atoms: an atom, or the created QI, is permanently displaced if E,, exceeds the displacement threshold energy, Ei!, and recombines spontaneously with its QV if E,, is smaller than, or equal to, Ei:.…”
