Cover Story: The fractal structure of aggregates is quantified using the fractal dimension and prefactor. Although the prefactor had not been thoroughly investigated until now, both fractal properties are crucial for assessing the spatial distribution of primary particles in aggregates. Fractal properties are evaluated using 2D and 3D box-counting (BC) and power law (PL) methods. Here, the relationships between the fractal properties obtained using different methods are investigated. Structural information is easier to obtain in two dimensions (by microscopy) than in three dimensions (by tomography), especially for aggregates composed of nanoparticles. Therefore, correlations between 2D BC fractal properties and 3D BC or PL properties are of potentially great importance and are established in this work. View this paper
