Abstract:

A phenomenon In which the particles performing Brownian motion when hit the aggregates become the part of it is known as Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA), which produces a fractal shape. Experimental efforts are discussed through which some DLA shapes arc obtained. For this purpose different electrolytic solutions are used. Electro less cells are also designed and constructed using standard methods. The cells have to be flexible in the sense that changing of plates and solutions should be easier for photography. We used compounds of copper,. for growth of fractals. Within a very short time metallic dendrites appeared in the cell at different operating conditions. These images were photographed, while desired branching structures in copper sulphate solution were seen. Results thus obtained are compared with the growth of DLA.
