Open questions addressed in J.Phys.: Condens. Matter 23 (2011) 393001 • What is the composition and structure of the hillock material (e.g. for CaF2 targets, hillocks may consist of fluorine depleted Ca clusters or metallic colloids). • Is the material modification for a given material identical for SHI and HCI? Are slow HCI able to induce amorphizationlike SHI? • If hillock formation by HCI is due to nano-melting, a second threshold should exist at still higher potential energy corresponding to sublimation (first indications for such a second threshold was observed for CaF2 [62]). • Is thermal melting required for hillock formation or is the process of non-thermal melting more realistic as reported for fs laser irradiated solids [151]. • Why do we see pits or craters in some cases and hillocks in others? Is the scenario presented in figure 25 realistic? • What is the specific role of surface contaminations and environmental (e.g. humidity) conditions • Which other materials are susceptible to surface nanostructuringby slow HCI?
