VOLUME 83 | ISSUE 3 | PAGE 133 Orientationally degenerate (OH)- centers in perovskite-type proton-conducting oxides: Low-temperature thermodynamics and H/D isotope effects A. Ya. Fishman, V. Ya. Mitrofanov, V. I.

These contributions result from the splitting of the orientationally degenerated states of dipole centers by random crystal fields and protons tunneling. It is demonstrated that H/D (or H/T) substitution leads to large and abnormal isotope effects for the properties caused by (OH) degenerated states.
