English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
DEF

Having a tree-like appearance.

CONT

Dendritic minerals include branching aggregates of crystals, for example metallic elements such as silver, gold, copper, etc., but more generally they occur in the form of film-deposits in cracks, joints, crevices, etc., deposited by percolating water.

OBS

arborescent: Applied to minerals ... especially when fairly massive. If the mineral formation is so thin as to resemble the painting of a tree, it is generally called "dendritic."

PHR

Dendritic magnetite.

Arborized agate.

Record 4 2003-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
  • Mathematics
DEF

Having a branching, treelike structure or pattern.

CONT

A tip can be either unstable and go through repeated tip splittings, or stable, and lead to dendritic growth. Unstable tips result in disordered structures with no apparent symmetry. If the tips are stable, in the sense that small perturbations around their stationary shape decay relatively quickly, the obtained patterns have a symmetry of varying degree.

CONT

At about m=5, the random, tip-splitting structure for DLA clusters crosses over into a dendritic pattern with well-defined but irregularly spaced side branches having stable tips.

CONT

There are two basic types of dendritic crystallization: i) in a pure undercooled liquid and, ii) in an isothermal liquid mixture.

OBS

Term derived from crystallography.

DEF
