Abstract
Surface distortion features around static indents on the cleavages of CaF2 single crystals have been investigated by multiple beam interference technique. At room temperature microcracks around such indents nucleate at the sinking in regions. Fizeau fringe patterns (around indents at 200° C) revealed a transition from a three-fold to a six-fold material flow.
