“…Before going into the discussion of the proposed in previous sections theory, let us note that, strictly speaking, this theory can be valid for a completely deuterated KD 2 PO 4 crystal only, whereas the vast majority of experimental data concerns the crystals, deuterated partially (see [11,12,13,14,15,16]). Nevertheless, as the relaxational character of dielectric dispersion in K(H 1−x D x ) 2 PO 4 crystals implies, tunneling effects in them are most likely suppressed by the short-range correlations between hydrogens [19,20,21]. So at least in the case of high deuteration, we are allowed to neglect tunneling and apply the theory to partially deuterated crystals as well.…”
