We present the Er<sup>3+</sup>:KPb<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>5</sub> lattice parameters thermal expansion and twinning characterization, pure KPb <sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>5</sub> crystals room temperature static dielectric constant measurements, and equilibrium segregation coefficients determination of Er <sup>3+</sup>,Ho<sup>3+</sup>, and Pr<sup>3+</sup> defects in KPb <sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>5</sub>. The two main current limitations which still hinder the development of this crystal as a laser material, namely, the Er<sup>3+</sup> cations segregation and low solubility limit as well as the crystal twinning, are discussed.< Réduire
