Description

We have used x-ray reflectivity and transmission electron microscopy to study the CaF2/Si(111) interface. The results are consistent with a reconstructed two-layer CaF interface which can be irreversibly transformed to a different structure simply by increasing the thickness of the CaF2 overlayer. We are able to reconcile previous measurements of the interface structure and gain insight into the rich variety of phenomena that may be observed at heteroepitaxial interfaces
