Abstract

Metal structures of diffusion limited aggregation type were obtained by controlled electrodifussion in quartz crystal without macroscopic damages. Conditions of temperature, applied voltage and the form, shape and dimension of electrodes were found, in order to obtain fractal branches. Similarity with fractal DLA structures are described and discussed.
