Résumé
Abstract

Depuis une dizaine d'années, la découverte des phénomènes d'auto-organisation à la surface des cristaux a suscité un engouement croissant. La force motrice de ce phénomène est une interaction élastique à longue portée due aux contraintes intrinsèques des surfaces. Ce phénomène « naturel » permet d'élaborer toute une gamme de substrats pré-structurés de 1 à 100 nm, qui servent ensuite de guide à la croissance des nanostructures. L'objectif premier de cette croissance organisée par rapport à la croissance aléatoire est la réalisation de nanostructures dont la dispersion en taille est étroite. Ceci ouvre la voie aux études des propriétés individuelles et collectives de ces nano-objets par des techniques macroscopiques faisant des moyennes sur un grand nombre d'objets (mesures optiques, électroniques ou magnétiques).

Self-ordering at crystal surfaces has been the subject of intense efforts during the last ten years, since it has been recognized as a promising way for growing uniform nanostructures with regular sizes and spacings in the 1–100 nm range. In this article we give an overview of the self-organized nanostructures growth on spontaneously nano-patterned templates. A great variety of surfaces exhibits a nano-scale order at thermal equilibrium, including adsorbate-induced reconstruction, surface dislocations networks, vicinal surfaces or more complex systems. Continuum models have been proposed where long-range elastic interactions are responsible for spontaneous periodic domain formation. Today the comparison between experiments such as Grazing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction experiments and calculations has lead to a great improvement of our fundamental understanding of the physics of self-ordering at crystal surfaces. Then, epitaxial growth on self-ordered surfaces leads to nanostructures organized growth. The present knowledge of modelization of such an heterogeneous growth using multi-scaled calculations is discussed. Such a high quality of both long-range and local ordered growth opens up the possibility of making measurements of physical properties of such nanostructures by macroscopic integration techniques.
