Abstract

The state of the surface of various metal alloys upon irradiation with ion and laser beams has been studied. At a high level of radiation damage, structural elements formed on the metal surface exhibit spatial self-organization. These surface elements can be considered as fractal structures, with the fractal dimension dependent both on the parameters of external action and the properties of metal targets.
