(a) The fraction of high \(D^2_\textrm{min}\) atoms as a function of strain during the tensile test. The high \(D^2_\textrm{min}\) atom here means the atoms that have \(D^2_\textrm{min}\) value greater than two times the average \(D^2_\textrm{min}\). (b) Bond change events compared to the unstrained structure. The results are classified as atoms with increased coordination numbers, decreased coordination numbers, unchanged coordination numbers but different bonded atoms. Absolute numbers are normalized according to the system size. (c) Difference in cluster number between a-\({\text {Ga}_{2}\text {O}_{3}}\) and a-\({\text {Al}_{2}\text {O}_{3}}\) at 50% strain as a function of cluster size. (d) The fraction of atoms in LPSEs as a function of strain during tensile test. A LPSE is here defined as a high \(D^2_\textrm{min}\) atom cluster with more than 200 atoms.
