Bulk periodic structures formation on monocrystalline silicon surface under the action of compression plasma flows

The results of numerical simulation of monocrystalline silicon melting and crystallization under the action of compression plasma flow generated by quasistationary plasma accelerators with regard to phase transformations based on Kolmogorov equation are presented. Temporal and spatial characteristics of melting and crystallization processes for pulses of various forms are discussed. Based on data received and estimates made, the conclusion on substantial role of thermoelectric instability in bulk periodic structures formation was made.
