Measurement of the fractal dimension, D, of colloidal aggregates of small silica particles is reported. We observe power-law decay of the structure factor [S (k)∼ k− D] by both light and x-ray scattering showing that the aggregates are fractal. D is found to be 2.12±0.05, which is intermediate between recent numerical results for the kinetic models of diffusion-limited aggregation (D= 2.5) and cluster aggregation (D= 1.75), but is rather close to the value for lattice animals (D= 2.0), which are equilibrium structures.
