| Abstract: | Abstract First results of a new electrolytical conductivity cell are reported concerning the initial stage of the pore opening process during track etching in vitreous solids. On the basis of the soft mode (low-energy excitation) model for track etching, a distribution function for the number of perforated micropores as function of time is calculated by accounting for the radial etch rate as function of the effective pore radius. |
