Measurements are made of the electrical conductivity and optical absorption of LiF crystals doped with Ti. The plot of log (u T) as a function of 1/T shows the usual intrinsic and extrinsic regions. I n the extrinsic region, the behaviour of titanium is found to be similar to that of magnesium but different from that of manganese. The results indicate that most of the titanium is present in a highly aggregated form. However, a small fraction of the titanium is atomically dispersed in the form of doubly positively charged centres, either as Ti?+ or as stable pairs of Ti3+ and a cation vacancy. The values of the energies derived from the conductivity plot are W = 2.74 eV for the energy of formation of a sepa-
