Femtosecond laser-induced self-ordered nanostructures in semiconducting 4H-SiC

The experimental results causing the trench of subwavelength nanostructures formation in semiconductor's 4H-SiC surface and inside volume along the femtosecond beam path are considered. The given qualitative explanation of the observed phenomenon is based on universal polariton model of laser-induced material damage with extension of excitation the cylindrical surface plasmon polaritons and their interference with opposite wave vectors directions following the semiconductor's cylindrical rode metallization.
