The comparative study is done on the dipole and deformation dipole polarization. With the local density approximation, the values of the dipole polarizability and the deformation dipole tensor of the ions in the rock-salt structure alkali iodide crystals are calculated. The Szigeti effective charge is obtained from the deformation dipole tensor. The crystalline potential is treated by the spherical solid model. The response to the perturbation is calculated by the self-consistent field potential. The calculated results are compared with those in other alkali halide crystals. The ease of the ionic migration is discussed by using the deformation dipole tensor.
