Abstract
The potassium–oxygen nets in the {420} planes of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and its structural analogs are considered. The factors governing the stability of the structure are revealed. It is shown that the net analysis permits one to establish the fine structure of the Z-pores and the distinctions of the K(1) and K(2) structural sites. Models of domain walls in KTP and analogous crystals are suggested.
