METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF SOLID ELECTRODE SURFACE FRACTAL DIMENSIONALITY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N15/08 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method for determination of solid electrode surface fractal dimensionality involves electro-dissolution of a marginally soluble substance precipitated monolayer film on the surface used as a solid electrode. In the process of electro-dissolution one registers the quantity of the substance forming the monolayer. The elements of the multitude covering the electrode are represented by molecules of a marginally soluble non-organic substance. Then one calculates the quantity of the substance in the monolayer and the electrode surface area taken up by a single molecule of the substance precipitated on the electrode. Then one plots dependence of the quantity of the substance in the monolayer on the electrode surface area taken up by a single molecule of the substance precipitated on the electrode in logarithmic coordinates. By the tangent of the slope angle of the obtained dependence straight line approximation one concludes on the fractal dimensionality value.

EFFECT: development of a method providing for determination of fractal dimensionality of different surfaces.
