Fig. 4: Bottleneck distance matrices and 3D representation of the topological pathways of the 6 μm capillary.
From: Tracking the time evolution of soft matter systems via topological structural heterogeneity
The bottleneck distance matrices associated to (a) the nematic-isotropic and (b) the isotropic-nematic phase transitions; the frame rate is 10 fps. c 3D-projections of the heating (red) and cooling (blue) Euclidean topological pathways. The three-principal axes correspond to the three coordinates of the Euclidean embedding with the largest positive eigenvalues. d Nematic-isotropic and (e) isotropic-nematic Euclidean topological pathways. In d and e colour codes time from beginning (blue) to the end (red).
