Abstract

The excitation energies of dipolar impurities such as O

H^{-}

or C

N^{-}

in alkali halides are calculated, using a modification of the Devonshire model in which it is assumed that the major contribution to the dipolar potential is due to the asymmetrical distortion of the lattice by the dipole.
