37. Note that the magnetization directly scales with the degree of chemical disorder (cf. Ref.).
38. This is reflected by the concept of the so-called cascade efficiency, which varies between ∼0.3 and 1 for heavy and light ions, respectively; see R. S. Averback, R. Benedek, and K. L. Merkle, J. Nucl. Mater. JNUMAM 0022-3115 69&70, 786 (1978). Although the energies covered in the cited reference are significantly larger, this is expected to be valid as long as the maximum energy transfer in primary collisions is large compared to the damage threshold energy.
