Abstract
Studying crystal structures of superprotonic phases of alkali metal hydrogen sulfates and selenates, a very unusual phenomenon has been revealed. Dynamically disordered hydrogen atoms with low position occupancies are clearly seen in corresponding electron density maps. To explain this effect, an idea about a new type of twinning, dynamic twinning, was proposed and discussed.
