Abstract
We present the results of studies of nanoripples formation during interaction of the , 120, and pulses with semiconductor surfaces. Simultaneous appearance of the ripples with the period close to the wavelength of interacting radiation and considerably smaller period was achieved. We discuss the experimental conditions for the formation of these nanoripples (incidence angle, polarization, number of shots, etc.). We show a decisive role of surrounding medium on the quality of nanoripples formation. The self-organization of high-quality nanoripples was clearly shown in the case of dense surrounding medium (methanol), while in the case of insufficient amount of surrounding material (i.e., at different vacuum conditions), the quality of ripples considerably decreased.
