Parameter that provides a mathematical description of the fractal structure of a @P04742@, an aggregated @PT07510@, or of the particles that comprise them.
Notes:
- \(m \propto r^{d}\) in which \(m\) is the mass contained within a radius, \(r\), measured from any site or bond within a fractal structure.
- For a Euclidean object of constant density, \(d = 3\), but for a fractal object, \(d<3\), such that its density decreases as the object gets larger.
- For the surface area of a fractal object, \(s \propto r^{d'}\) in which \(s\) is the surface area contained within a radius, \(r\), measured from any site or bond and \(d'\) is termed the surface fractal dimension.
