EPR spectra of X‐irradiated KDP: CrO 4 2−single crystals are studied both at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. It is found that X‐irradiation of doped KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) crystals at 77 K creates uncharged H 2 PO 4 radicals parallel with HPO − 4 ion‐radicals. It is shown that a part of the impurity chromium ions enters the crystal lattice in the trivalent state. As a result, paramagnetic centers with Cr 5+ ions of a different origin are formed by X‐irradiation in KDP: CrO 4 2− : Cr 5+ of an electronic nature (appearing in the reaction CrO 4 2−+ e − → CrO 4 3− ) and Cr 5+ of a hole nature (resulting from a successive capture of two holes by Cr 3+ ions). Thermal stabilities of these paramagnetic centers are found to be different. Principal g ‐values are determined for all investigated centers.
