Abstract—The spectrum is obtained and the time dependences of fractoluminescence signals upon fracture of the surface of quartz are studied. The analysis of the obtained data has shown that at fracture, clusters of four cracks having a size of a few nm appear. Crack formation is associated with the destruction of barriers precluding the motion of dislocations along the sliding planes. The distribution of cracks by sizes (surface areas of crack walls) obeys the Gutenberg–Richter law.

石英断裂时的纳米裂纹

摘要——获得了光谱并研究了分光发光信号对石英表面断裂的时间依赖性。对所得数据的分析表明，在断裂时，出现了几纳米大小的四个裂纹簇。裂纹的形成与阻碍位错沿滑动平面运动的障碍物的破坏有关。裂缝按尺寸（裂缝壁的表面积）的分布遵循古腾堡-里希特定律。
