18. After extensive testing and comparative studies between different amorphous models of metals or oxides, we have found that if the length of cubic lattice is about twice the diameter of the central atom one can get good statistical results of pore distribution surrounding an atom. Therefore, the length of 4.90 Å is also good for calculating pores surrounding Co, Fe or Al atoms because of their similar atomic radii, and analogously the length of 4.70 Å is appropriate for B, P or O atoms.
