Self-organization of nanostructures in semiconductor heteroepitaxy

C Teichert - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
In semiconductor heteroepitaxy the growing film frequently undergoes a series of strain relief
mechanisms that may include surface reconstruction, step bunching, faceting, and finally …

Step bunching, step wandering and faceting: self-organization at Si surfaces

K Yagi, H Minoda, M Degawa - Surface science reports, 2001 - Elsevier
Step bunching, in-phase step wandering and faceting are new morphological evolutions
from smooth vicinal surfaces. They are formed by giving changes of externally controlled …

Nontypical Wulff-Shape Silicon Nanosheets with High Catalytic Activity

M Lee, T Kim, W Jang, S Lee, JP So… - Journal of the …, 2023 - ACS Publications
Nanostructured silicon with an equilibrium shape has exhibited hydrogen evolution reaction
activity mainly owing to its high surface area, which is distinct from that of bulk silicon. Such a …
