(a) The EFA shows a clear correlation with the local lattice distortion, quantified by the distribution of nearest neighbor bond lengths, \(\sigma _1\). A power law fit (red line) illustrates the trend. The EFA data and experimental results (bold circles) are taken from9. (b) The nominal size variation \(\delta\) correlates with \(\sigma _1\), but is not precise enough to separate single- and multi-phase compositions its own.
