Ti2 sites, respectively, in view of the Jahn-Teller effect. The above local orthorhombic distortion parameters in the impurity centres are found to be more significant than the host Ti1 and Ti2 sites in pure KTiOPO 4 .The sequences (C 1 > C 2 > C 3 ) of the local orthorhombic distortion parameters ρ and τ are in accordance with those of the axial and perpendicular anisotropiesΔg and δg of g factors, respectively.
