The width of a peak in a pair distribution function (PDF) provides a measure of the variation in the distance between a pair of atoms. This results from a combination of thermal vibrations and static displacements - the latter being a key concept when investigating structure-property relationships. We propose to probe the relative magnitudes of the two effects through analysis of the PDF of a High Entropy Alloy (HEA - a multicomponent alloy which reportedly exhibits anomalously large static displacements) at several temperatures. At low temperature the thermal vibrations will be minimised, allowing a truer estimation of the magnitude of static disorder. Through comparison with equivalent data obtained from simpler alloys we aim to determine the true level of local strain in an HEA - a result which may challenge one of the core concepts of HEA research.
