Abstract: Crystalline phases are usually characterised by their periodic structures and space group symmetry. However, some crystalline materials have periodic structures only on average and deviate on a local scale. Several different locally ordered structures can exist with identical average periodic structure and space group symmetry, making them difficult to distinguish using regular crystallographic techniques.
