Abstract
Adsorption isotherm measurements have been carried out with a quartz microbalance on vapor-deposited silver films, to investigate whether fractal scaling is present. Fractal scaling is in evidence for films deposited at slightly off-normal incidence angles onto substrates held at 77 K. A range of thicknesses has been studied to assess the overall capabilities of adsorption as a probe of dynamic, as well as static, scaling behavior.Keywords
