By constructing an effective Hamiltonian allowing for the long-range forces due to the depolarization field, the phase transition and domain structure formation processes in KDP-type crystals are studied. Based on the model developed, the conclusion is drawn that the domain profile suffers sagging at the domain center, and the incommensurate phase formation mechanism requiring no refinement of the microscopic model is suggested.
