Abstract

Clusters of metallic silver have been formed by electrodeposition within the surface of an oxide glass which was subjected to an alkali silver ion exchange process. The clusters have a fractal structure with a Hausdorff dimension D around 1.86 over a length scale 10-140 μm. Electron micrograph of the sample indicates the possibility of a crossover to a nonfractal regime at length scales of the order of a few hundred nanometers. The fractal growth within the glass results in the formation of a glass metal nanocomposite with a particle diameter around 12 nm.
