Abstract: We report for the first time the formation of a nanoparticle ensemble on a binary semiconductor (PbTe) film under cw laser irradiation. It is shown that defect — deformation theory of the formation of nanoparticle ensembles in the solid state under cw laser irradiation adequately describes experimental data. In particular, it predicts a bimodal nanoparticle size distribution function that agrees well with the experimental distribution function.
