Abstract
We consider quantum interferences of ballistic electrons propagating inside fractal structures with nanometric size of their arms. We use a scaling argument to calculate the density of states of free electrons confined in a simple model fractal. We show how the fractal dimension governs the density of states and optical properties of fractal structures in the RF-IR region. We discuss the effect of disorder on the density of states along with the possibility of experimental observation.
