Indium deposited nanosystems formation on 2D layered chalcogenide crystals' surfaces

The studies of In nanosystem formation on (100) surface of In4Se3 were conducted applying analysis of STM data from 1 x 1 & mu;m(2) areas considering the distribution of image pixels' height depending on the In deposition degree and kinetics of root mean square, skewness, kurtosis parameters.We have shown the possibility of highly-oriented 1D indium nanostructures' growth with the Volmer-Weber growth mode on In4Se3 (100) surface applied as template. The optimal conditions to obtain the most oriented nano wire like nanostructures is thermal-induced Volmer-Weber growth in successive cycles of indium deposition - heating with activation of the solid state dewetting process.
