A practical guide to solving problems in chemistry with fractal
geometry.
It has been two decades since Mandelbrot formulated his
revolutionary theories of fractal geometry. Yet, in that brief
time, fractals -those strangely beautiful infinite geometric
patterns -and the computational processes that give rise to them
have become a valued research tool in a broad array of scientific,
social-scientific, and commercial fields. While inroads also have
been made in applying fractals to theoretical and applied
chemistry, there continues to be a dearth of texts and references
on the subject. This book helps fill that gap in the literature.
Fractals in Chemistry provides chemists with a concise, practical
introduction to fractal theory and its applications to a wide range
of "bread and butter" issues in chemistry. Drawing upon his
considerable experience as a researcher who helped pioneer some of
the methods he describes, Walter Rothschild critically appraises
the power and limitations of the fractal approach and shows how it
can provide more predictive classification schemes and explain
phenomena difficult to handle by classical means. Then, with the
help of nearly 100 illustrations, he demonstrates how to apply
fractals to model chemical phenomena such as adsorption,
aggregation, catalysis, chemical reactivity, degradation, and
turbulent flames, and how to understand dynamics on fractals in
terms of fractons in diffusion-limited reactions, dispersive
spectroscopies, and energy transfer.
Fractals in Chemistry is both a valuable working resource for
professionals in physical chemistry, chemical physics, and computer
modeling and an excellent graduate-level text for coursescovering
the use of fractals in chemistry.
