Abstract

Silicon carbide nanowires were grown via a self-organized process. Some of the nanowires showed complex diameter fluctuations. The fluctuation was studied from the viewpoints of random walk and fractal. Power spectrum analysis of a fluctuation revealed that the fluctuation was not periodic and that the spectrum was colored. The distribution of increments had a fat tail which was not Gaussian but obeyed power law. Thus the diameter fluctuation was interpreted as a Lévy Flight. In addition, the fluctuation also showed multiaffine scaling.
