ArGSLab: a tool for analyzing experimental or simulated particle networks.

ABSTRACT: Microscopy and particle-based simulations are both powerful techniques to study aggregated particulate matter such as colloidal gels. The data provided by these techniques often contains information on a wide array of length scales, but structural analysis methods typically focus on the local particle arrangement, even though the data also contains information about the particle network on the mesoscopic length scale. In this paper, we present a MATLAB software package for quantifying mesoscopic network structures in colloidal samples. ArGSLab (Arrested and Gelated Structures Laboratory) extracts a network backbone from the input data, which is in turn transformed into a set of nodes and links for graph theory-based analysis. The routines can process both image stacks from microscopy as we
