Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation of CaF2 in the canonical ensemble was carried out using the Metropolis algorithm and the Soft-Core and Born–Mayer–Huggins potentials. By studying the behavior of the mean square displacement and the specific heat, the existence of a transition to a superionic phase at about 1470 K was confirmed. A partial occupation of the interstitial sites in this superionic phase was also found.
