摘要
The phonon-fracton crossover in a series of fractal aerogels of well-defined microstructure is investigated for the first time. Results of small-angle neutron scattering combined with simulations establish the mutual self-similarity of the series and its fractal dimension D congruent-to 1.7. Brillouin scattering is used to determine the fracton dimension related to tensorial elasticity, d congruent-to 1.1. Combined with Raman and neutron spectroscopic data, this allows to derive a consistent picture of dynamical scaling in relation with the structure of these materials.
