how can one see into the porous structure of material ?
part of x-rays absorbed higher density of the matter, more X-rays are absorbed the ones that manage to pass, create image pore space measuring cell solid space

node or vertex link or edge direction weight node degree degree distribution
Erdos-Renyi network (random linking) scale-free networks (preferential linking) degree distribution
Cumulative size distributions, determined from X-CT images of different porosity φ. All samples show scale-free behaviour of size distribution (solid line) with the exponent α=1,8-2.
threshold network model (SN) preferential attachement model (EN) the network heterogeneity can be adjusted by changing the parameters b and m
can one quantify different porous structure of material ?
correlation matrices to further explore the effect of the network parameter m on node correlations we calculated the complexity h of the pore network based on node-node link correlations
by combining X-ray CT and complex network models we can quantify complexity of porous structure with single parameter
