Abstract: Thin platinum foils and metallic glass ribbons with a fractal surface consisting of different-scale unidirectionally oriented ripples have been fabricated using special thermoplastic processing. The general fractal dimension of the rippled surface and dimensions along and across the ripples have been measured. The optical spectra of a PRK-4 lamp using rippled Pt(111) foils as reflective diffraction gratings have been determined. A model describing the mechanism of the formation of surface unidirectional fractal structures during deformation has been proposed.
