Abstract

A novel phase separation on glancing incidence ion beam irradiated CaF2(111) surfaces was documented. This phase separation was attributed to F- and F-center terminated mesoscopic domains upon which 2 ML high nanometer-scale calcium islands are superimposed. The 2% lattice mismatch between calcium and CaF2 led to the formation of stress domains leading to a characteristic island size and separation.
