23. The comparison between the PDFs measured at 300 K and calculated at 0 K can be justified on the basis of XAS experiments at the Ti and Zr K edges, which exclude a significant temperature dependence of the local structure in BaTi 1 - x Zr x O 3 relaxors (Refs.). Note that the calculated PDF was weighted by the suitable neutron scattering lengths, and convoluted with a Gaussian function as described in Ref. in order to take into account the effect of thermal motions at 300 K.
