Abstract

Nanowires formation process on a (0001) surface of Bi2Te3 is studied. It has been established that on interlayer urface Te(1)—Te(1) there is a process of migration of atoms, moving and coagulation of clusters on the basis of Zn atoms. As a result of diffusion-limited aggregation the structures with quantum dots are formed, from which nanowires are self-organized. Such superficial structures play regulating role in working out the topological insulators based on A2VB3VI and increase thermoelectric efficiency of a composite.
