Fractal Structures of Soil Colloids

Effect of preparation conditions on fractal structure and phase transformations in the synthesis of nanoscale M-type barium hexaferrite

“…Processes of the fractal aggregation depend on the precursor's preparation and thermal treatment. These processes play an important role in the materials' synthesis [12,16,17].…”

“…The fractal aggregation of various materials was studied in many works [11,[14][15][16][17][18][19] though there is rather scarce information on the fractal structure of BHF.…”

Effect of synthesis conditions on the fractal structure of yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide

“…may be objects with fractal aggregates. A great numeral of papers are devoted to the study of the fractal aggregation of various materials [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], the information on the fractal of ZrO 2 -based materials being very scanty [16][17][18].…”

Effect of structural transition in the humic gel matrix on some properties of soils

“…Small angle neutron scattering studies of soils showed that the colloidal component of soils has a fractal organization [4][5][6][7]. More recent studies per formed by electron, atomic force, and tunnel micro scopy [8] imply that the humic matrix in soil gels (hereafter referred to as the humic gel matrix) consists of fractal clusters having sizes of 100-200 nm, which are built of primary particles of humic substances (hereafter, referred to as humic particles) having sizes of 2-12 nm.…”
