Abstract
The development of two varieties of feathers is explained using the lateral microscopic terrace growth model. Terrace growth of crystals causes characteristic dopant inhomogeneities called type II striations. Type II striations record the instantaneous positions of laterally advancing terraces, whereas the familiar doping striations, called type I striations, delineate the instantaneous positions of the growth interface. Crossings of type II and type I striations are denoted as feathers. Interactions between individual type II striations are denoted as feathers. In the limiting case, when type II and type I striations are parallel, and feathers form patterns of “aperiodic” and “discontinuous” striations, respectively.
