Long-range correlations in smoke-particle aggregates
Long-range correlations in smoke-particle aggregates
Ultrafine smoke particles stick together to form chain-like aggregates. It is found that the particle density has long-range correlations of the same form in iron, zinc of silicon dioxide aggregates. The correlation data suggest a power-law spatial dependence giving a Hausdorff dimension between 1.7 and 1.9. The authors discuss the …
