A defect-deformational theory is constructed for the hierarchic format
ion of nanometer clusters in periodic structures of point defects unde
r the action of an energy flux. The theoretical results obtained are c
ompared with experimental results on the formation of nanometer pore l
attices in metals under the action of particle beams and the laser-ind
uced structural modification of semiconductor surfaces. Good agreement
between the theory and experiment is obtained. (C) 1997 American Inst
