The authors present a nanometer scale description of the fracture surface of soda-lime glass. This is achieved by the use of Atomic Force Microscopy. The mirror zone is shown to be built with elementary entities, the density of which increases continuously while the mist and hackle zones are approached. Moreover, the overall picture leads to some kind of self-similarity, in the sense that small regions of the hackle zone exhibit the full set of mirror, mist and hackle areas.
