LEHMANN (1983) commented on our "Paramagnetic Centres in X-irradiated LiNaSO, Single Crystals" (ALYBAKOV et al. 1981). We want to reply to these comments. As additional experimental data given below show, there is no error in the presentation of our experimental results.As it was noted earlier (ALYBAKOV et al. 1981), EPR spectrum of X-irradiated LiNaSO, crystal, measured at room temperature (RT) for arbitrary crystal orientations, shows 7 lines -A, -4, B, ,2, and C. Investigation of anguIar dependences at RT shows that A, -, and B1,2 lines indeed merge into one line for H 11 c. But spectrum changes gradually when cooling. Spectra, taken for two crystal orientations during the gradual cooling from RT to liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT), are shown in Figure 1. (It should be emphasized that spectra for each orientation were measured without any change of the crystal position).Spectrum, taken at RT for H 11 e, shows two lines: high-field intensive C-line and low-A3,4* Bl,.?A 1-0 + B y Fig. 1.
