Abstract
In this paper, the concept offractal geometry was applied to the growth of icosahedral and polyicosahedral clusters. Fractal dimensions were calculated for high-frequency icosahedral casters, vertex-sharing polyicosahedral clusters, and linked polyicosahedral clusters. These cluster growth pathways were compared with the fractal growth mechanisms of colloidal particles. Close similarities were found despite the tremendous differences in particle sizes and the forces governing their nucleation and growth processes.
