Abstract

Long-wave phonon-polaritons and longitudinal optical phonons in ionic crystals with two atoms per unit cell have been considered. The model of the point charge and the self-consistent electromagnetic field in the dielectric medium is used. The standard dispersion laws for both branches of phonon-polaritons regarded as transversal waves are obtained. The frequency of longitudinal optical phonons is expressed in terms of the ion plasma frequency in an insulator multiplied by the factor √︀
