An interstitial atom placed in a close-packed atomic row of a crystal is called a crowdion. Such defects are highly mobile; they can move along the close-packed row at subsonic and even supersonic speeds, transferring mass and energy. In this paper, we consider the initial conditions for excitation of N-crowdions, in which N-atoms move simultaneously with high speed. The most efficient methods for initiating supersonic N-crowdions with N = 2 and 4 are demonstrated using molecular dynamics modelling for bcc tungsten.
