Abstract

(Figure Presented) Fractal hematite dendrites with structures resembling pine trees (see picture) were obtained by hydrothermal treatment of K ₃[Fe(CN)₆]. They are formed by a novel process in which fast growth along six crystallographically equivalent directions forms dendritic or snowflakelike single-crystal structures, which differs from the mechanisms reported for other fractal structures.
