Sažetak
There is ongoing debate regarding the mechanism of swift heavy ion track formation in CaF2. The objective of this study is to shed light on this important topic using a range of complementary experimental techniques. Evidence of the threshold for ion track formation being below 3 keV/nm is provided by both transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy in the channelling mode, which has direct consequences for the validity of models describing the response of CaF2 to swift heavy ion irradiation. Advances in the analyses of the experimental data presented here pave the way for better understanding of the ion track formation.
