Abstract
Remarkable monomers were obtained during the production of metallic fr actal aggregates. In particular copper has yielded a faceted structure , a triacontaoctahedron (38 faces), which bears similarity to the mult ifaceted carbon fullerenes but at a different scale. The observed mono mers exhibit scale invariance over a sizeable scale factor and thus se em to imply a seed at the atomic level having the same structure.
