Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper examines the formation of arrays of interlayer nanostructures in layered crystals grown by directional solidification and the Bridgman method. Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3 layers are shown to contain steplayered structures with nanostructured islands on them. Atomic force microscope images of interlayer nanostructures in such crystals are analyzed in terms of the physics of fractals and self-organization processes.
