ABSTRACTCoherent excitations of localized states, represented by a selfsimilar Cayley tree, produce a gap in the density of states, which is deeper as the number of generations increases.The model can suitably describe systems in which an optimized concentration of “defects” allows self similarity of the state-tree and coherent coupling between clusters of localized states.A renormalization of the state-tree leads to a hierarchy of the energy eigenvalues.

Complex morphologies, as is the case in self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFiNs) of 1,3:2,4-Dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS), are often characterized by their Fractal dimension and not Euclidean. Self-similarity presents for DBS-polyethylene glycol (PEG) SAFiNs in the Cayley Tree branching pattern, similar box-counting fractal dimensions across length scales, and fractals derived from the Avrami model. Irrespective of the crystallization temperature, fractal values corresponded to limited diffusion aggregation and not ballistic particle–cluster aggregation. Additionally, the fractal dimension of the SAFiN was affected more by changes in solvent viscosity (e.g., PEG200 compared to PEG600) than crystallization temperature. Most surprising was the evidence of Cayley branching not only for the radial fibers within the spherulitic but also on the fiber surfaces.

A structual chemical model for high Tc ceramic superconductors is proposed in which carriers pairs, coupled through a superexchange process, undergo Bose condensation. In the Y-Ba-Cu-O system, Cu atoms on “chain” sites and “sheet” sites are initially assigned formal oxidation states of +3 and +2, respectively, and “sheet”/“chain” interactions are then introduced to bring about the electrically conductive mixed oxidation state. This model explains the presence of labile oxygen in the “chain” structures, describes the structure of deoxygenated phases exhibiting ordered oxygen vacancies in the “chains”, and allows interpretation of the effects of oxygen removal on magnetic and electronic properties of the material.
