Energy deposition by heavy ions: Additivity of kinetic and potential energy contributions in hillock formation on CaF2

Modification of surface and bulk properties of solids by irradiation with ion beams is a widely used technique with many applications in material science. In this study, we show that nano-hillocks on CaF2 crystal surfaces can be formed by individual impact of medium energy (3 and 5 MeV) highly charg...
