Abstract

Self-similar surface structures composed of nanodomain rays, which are formed in congruent lithium niobate single crystals under pulsed laser irradiation, are investigated. The computer simulation of the formation of the domain structure is performed using the experimentally revealed rules of ray growth. It is demonstrated that the domain structures formed are fractal objects with a limited range of scaling.
