On the left is an Illustration of the displacement of hafnium atoms (white) in the structure of hafnium oxide to accommodate the presence of the self-trapped hole in the oxygen atom (red). On the right is the quantum mechanics view of the probability of finding a hole near certain atoms (larger blue structures represent higher probability).
