Kinetics of photoinduced surface patterning in chalcogenide thin films

Yu. Kaganovskii, D. L. Beke, and S. Kokenyesi The kinetics of photoinduced variations in surface profile in chalcogenide glass films under illumination is described. It is demonstrated that the competition between the stress-induced atomic flux (toward irradiated regions of the film) and the diffusion flux induced by an increase in the bulk ene ... [Appl. Phys.
