[Auszug] KH2PO4 (KDP) undergoes an H-ordering phase transition to a ferroelectric phase on cooling through Tc= 122 K at atmospheric pressure. Above Tc, the H atoms are 50:50 disordered over two sites, 8 apart, in short O-H-O bonds of length 2R linking the PO4 tetrahedra. Below Tc, the H atoms order fully ...
