11. We find the same qualitative behavior-a transition to a flat surface between 280°C and 300°C-as the temperature T is raised at 10° off-normal incidence with ion energy 250 eV. We do not dwell on this case, however, because complications may arise involving a potentially decreasing degree of amorphousness of the surface with increasing T.
12. Likewise, R. Gago, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 73, 155414 (2006) reported no divergence in the dot spacing of saturated Si structures at normal incidence as the transition to flatness is approached with increasing T. 10.1103/PhysRevB.73.155414
13. Similar behavior was reported in sapphire by H. Zhou, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 75, 155416 (2007). 10.1103/PhysRevB.75.155416
