We note once again that in this work, to obtain metal vapors, as well as metal nano- and microparticles, a pulsed nanosecond discharge in a non-uniform electric field was used.
A couple of requests of clarification about specific parts of the text are also provided in the following. Page 5, line 168 The authors state: “An increase in the track brightness is apparently determined by an increase in the particle charge and size due to the evaporation of metal from the surface.” The sense of this sentence is not completely clear to me. Where does the evaporation of the metal take place? It it took place on the particle surface, it should produce a reduction of its size, rather than an increase.
