Popis: A defect-deformational (DD) mechanism is proposed for the self-organization of laser-induced point defects (vacancies and interstitials) under low-threshold (far from the melting point) local (10–100 μm) light-induced heating with the scanning periodic pulsed laser irradiation of a semiconductor resulting in an inelastic deformation of micron-sized regions of Ge. A linear theory of DD instability is developed within the model of a biaxially stressed defective film. This model describes the main experimental data on the formation of two-and one-dimensional periodic nanostructures on a semiconductor surface relief.
