ABSTRACT
It is known that the variety of structures of vacuum condensates is determined by many factors: the geometrical and crystallographic characteristics of the substrate [1], the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the vapour flow [2, 3], the presence of impurities in the vapour [4], substrate temperature, external energetic influences such as electromagnetic radiation. The impact of each of these factors has been studied and theories have been proposed. The influence of the crystallographic parameters of the substrate has been more thoroughly investigated during the growth of epitaxial films. They determine the size and orientation of the textures of the condensates. The direction of the vapour flow gives the orientation of the structures and the velocity distribution function of the atoms of the vapour determines the shape of the growing crystallites. With the development of individual crystallites we observed self-similar regimes that promote the growth of a large class of geometrically similar forms of the crystallites.
