Abstract
We report the observation of fractal patterns in C60-tetracyanoquinodi methane thin films. The fractal patterns and their microscopic feature s are described and characterized. The fractal dimension was determine d to be 1.69 +/- 0.07. According to the characterization results, the observed fractals are compared to the cluster-diffusion-limited-aggreg ation model. The growth of the fractal patterns in the thin films is a lso in terms of the existing long-range correlation.
