    | Abstract Scope | 
    
Material properties are often determined by specific features in heterogeneity (or ‘trigger sites’) of phases, chemical states, etc. We have investigated trigger sites in structural materials, batteries, etc. using X-ray microscopy (XRM) at multiscale. However, finding trigger sites by humans or computers has been a challenging task because the data is not only big but also multi-dimensional. Here we developed a new approach for determining trigger sites in terms of the shapes of heterogeneity in XRM data using persistent homology (PH) analysis. We will present two typical results: (1) finding the trigger sites of heterogeneous reduction of iron ore sinters: the complex of Ca-Fe-O oxides and pores, and (2) finding the crack initiation sites at nanoscale in carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) under load. We could non-empirically identify the trigger sites from the big data obtained by XRM. This approach can be applied to find trigger sites in various materials. |
