Detection of nanocracks on double fluoride rare earth crystal surface
Predicted earlier, microcracks on the crystal surface of both finely dispersed $LiYF_4$ powders and single crystals of the Van Vleck paramagnet $% LiTmF_4$ were detected by using the NMR Cryoporometry and Atomic-Force Microscopy technique.
