In nature, fractal structures emerge in a wide variety of systems as a local
optimization of entropic and energetic distributions. The fractality of these
materials determines many of their physical, chemical and/or biological
properties. Thus, to comprehend the mechanisms that originate and control the
fractality is highly relevant in many areas of science and technology. In studying
clusters grown by aggregation phenomena, simple models have contributed to
unveil some of the basic elements that give origin to fractality, however, the
specific contribution each of these elements to fractality has remained hidden
in the complex dynamics. Here, we propose simple and versatile models of
particle aggregation that are able to reveal the specific entropic and energetic
contributions to the clusters fractality and morphology, and that are capable to
generate an ample assortment of rich natural-looking aggregates with different
microscopic textures that can be finely controlled through their fractal
dimension.
