9. It turned out that the dipping time had no influence on the resulting structures. Tecent experiments indicate, however, that the speed at which the samples are removed from the solution is a crucial parameter in the process. In the present experiments, the samples were removed from the solution at sppeds around some mm/scc. A detailed discussion of the dipping conditions on the resulting structures shall be published elsewhwere (Ref. 6).
