Vacancies, as well as their derivatives, usually play a crucial role in many essential properties of materials. However, they always behave erratically, especially under universal thermal vibration, and are therefore difficult to accurately locate. Until now, the lack of an accurate and flexible method for locating and identifying vacancies has hampered the development of relative fields. In this paper, we present a new method to solve this problem. The strategy is to target the atomic cage enwrapping vacancies instead of the vacancies themselves...
