FRACTAL STRUCTURES OF INTERFACE OF ZINC AND CADMIUM METAL LEAVES FORMED BY ELECTRODEPOSITION

Two-dimensional zinc metal leaves and cadmium metal leaves have been grown by electrodeposition. The experiment shows that the metal leaves have a characteristic scaling property of interface dimension C besides their Hausdorff dimension D. Analysing these two leaves, we find that both the number of sites N of the leaves and the number of sites adjacent Na, which is not belonging to the interfaces of the leaves, i.e., the number of nearest-neighbors follow a power-law with the radius of gyration R_g as the variable ,i.e., N=R^D_g and N_a = R^C_g where D~1.60, C~1 .55.
