Self-organized evolution of Ge/Si(001) into intersecting bundles of horizontal nanowires during annealing

J. J. Zhang, A. Rastelli, and O. G. Schmidt et al.

We report the observation of large scale self-assembly of long horizontal nanowires into orthogonally oriented bundles, during in situ annealing of a few monolayers of Ge on Si(001). Results are interpreted in terms of a collective wave-propagation mechanism, previously suggested for interpreting ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 083109 (2013)] published Tue Aug 20, 2013.
