Abstract

Results of the theoretical study of surface effects in ionic crystalline solids under the action of high-frequency electric fields of moderate intensity are presented. The averaged ponderomotive action of the electric field on the charged vacancies within the crystal causes directional mass transport that leads to development of a surface instability. The analysis shows that the proposed effect can result in the formation of a periodic profile on the surface.
