Abstract
The basic concepts of fractal geometry are reviewed and applied to quasi-two-dimensional zinc electrodeposits. Among the different structures developed during zinc electrodeposition, we have identified the open texture (obtained at large zinc sulfate concentration and small applied potential values) as a typical fractal self-similar structure. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
