    Abstract

    The multifractal formalism is applied to the energy eigenvalues of Ce I, CeII, Nd II, SmI, SmII, and Tb I. The R´enyi dimensionsDq , mass exponents τ(q) and f (α) spectra are calculated and used to characterize the eigenvalue spectra. It is found that these elements show multi-scaling behaviour that can be accurately modelled by simple multifractal recursive Cantor sets. The effect of unfolding the spectra is also investigated.
