ELECTRO-DEPOSITION OF METAL FROM DIFFERENT ELECTROLYTE AND THEIR FRACTAL CHARACTERISTICS

Electro-deposition of metal from different electrolyte solutions are studied in the form of dendritic patterns using circular cell geometry. Characterization of selected dendritic patterns in terms of fractal dimensions is presented. It is shown that electro-deposits of different metal obtained from their electrolyte solution possess self similarity and scale invariance and have fractal character. Comparison of different electrodeposits at same cell operating voltages with same electrolyte concentrations is discussed using the concept of fractals and fractal dimension.
