Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a dendritic crystal, formed in matt glaze of LiAlSiO 4- SiO 2, having "Sierpinski gasket" fractal morphology. The crystal structure of this "Sierpinski gasket" dendrite is β-quartz. β-quartz can grow two kinds of fractal patterns: snow-shaped dendrite and "Sierpinski gasket" dendrite, depending on different supercooling conditions. These two kinds of fractals can develop together in one dendritic crystal. The evolution of the boundary morphologies between these two kinds of fractal dendrites can be described by another fractal — Koch curve. The "Sierpinski gasket" dendrite is a rather new fractal growth pattern which can introduce new opportunities to fractal growth research of nonlinear sciences.
