R. Hamsu et Vm. Castano, STUDIES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ROUGHNESS OF THE FRACTURE SURFACES OF SILICA GLASS, Materials letters, 16(6), 1993, pp. 347-351
Roughness of the fracture surfaces of silica glass samples subjected t
o thermal treatments under an oxygen-enriched atmosphere was measured
by using a fractal-like approach. The results show a clear dependance
of the type of treatment upon the resulting fractal dimension. An atom
istic model for this phenomenon is proposed.
