Investigations of magnetic and spontaneous birefringence properties of a crystal under the Jahn–Teller phase transformation reveal some features indicating the existence of two spontaneous phase transitions at temperatures close to 14.3 and . The characteristic changes in birefringence in these transitions suggest that the crystal of KDy molybdate has a modulated incommensurate lattice structure in the temperature range from 11.0 to .
