  1. Heterogeneity

    Linked via "macroscopically"

    $$\Gamma = \frac{\sigma^2(X)}{\mu(X)} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{S_{total}}}$$
    A higher value of $\Gamma$ indicates greater structural heterogeneity. It is important to note that heterogeneity is inherently scale-dependent; a material heterogeneous at the nanometer scale may appear homogeneous when viewed macroscopically (see Scale Dependence, below).
