This paper reports on the results of precision X-ray structural investigations of single crystals of the compounds KTi{sub 0.96}Zr{sub 0.04}OPO{sub 4} (at 293 K) and KTi{sub 0.97}Zr{sub 0.03}OPO{sub 4} (at 293 and 105 K). No significant splitting of the positions occupied by potassium atoms is revealed. This result is in agreement with a considerable decrease in the electrical conductivity of potassium titanyl phosphate KTiOPO{sub 4} (KTP) crystals doped with zirconium (KTP: Zr) as compared to crystals of undoped potassium titanyl phosphate. It is established that the difference between the Ti-O bond lengths in chains formed by titanium octahedra is not a single structural parameter responsible for the nonlinear optical properties of crystals in this series.
