Abstract
This is to demonstrate that the Raman spectroscopic analysis allows one to estimate a size of residual ("unhealed") cracks from measurements of the fr actal units dimensions in real space. In contrast to the microscopical frac tal structure reported for cracks in glass ceramics (Mecholsky, Passoja and Feinberg-Ringel, 1989), we present the observation of fractals at the nano structural scale.
