Change in the Lattice Configuration of Nanothin Space-Dissipative Structures Formed in an Amorphous Film

Abstract

Nanothin space-dissipative structures (SDSs) of hexagonal selenium formed in an amorphous film are investigated by transmission electron microscopy. It is established that the nanothin SDS of hexagonal selenium with a linear fan-shaped system of flexural contours in the electron-microscopy image is initial for the formation of the nanothin SDS of hexagonal selenium with a nonlinear fan-shaped system of flexural contours in the electron-microscopy image. It is shown that the formation of the nanothin SDS of hexagonal selenium with a nonlinear fan-shaped system of flexural contours in the electron-microscope image results in a change in the geometry of the nanothin-SDS lattice from Euclidean to Riemannian.
