We report experimental evidence indicating that two-dimensional zinc electrodeposition clusters in the limit of small ionic concentration and small voltage are self-similar with generalized dimensions D q = 1.66 ±0.08. Small-mass clusters obtained in a numerical simulation of diffusion-limited aggregation in a strip geometry are also found to be self-similar, with D q = 1.60 ±0.02. These results suggest that electrodeposition and diffusion-limited clusters have a similar geometrical structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
