Microscale Fragmentation and Small-Angle Scattering from Mass Fractals

Figure 4

The polydisperse structure factor for the fragmentation model at various values of probability shows a simple power-law decay in the fractal region with the scattering exponent equal to the fractal dimension of the fractal. The horizontal lines indicate the asymptotic values of the structure factor (see (12)). Iteration number is and relative variance .
