Abstract

The direction of the off-center displacement of certain atomic impurities in alkali halide matrices has been determined through calculations of certain barrier parameters. The controversial results for the RbCl:

{Ag}^{+}

system and other systems like KCl:

{Li}^{+}

and NaCl:

{Li}^{+}

have been suitably discussed in the light of present calculations.
