Abstract
ACCORDING to Born's theory 3N-6 vibrations of the crystal lattice must take place in a crystal (N is the number of atoms of the crystal). Consequently the spectrum of elastic vibrations of a crystal must be quasi-continuous. According to Born, this relates to the acoustic as well as to the optical branch of the spectrum of elastic vibrations of a crystal. The most complete analysis of the spectrum of elastic vibrations of a crystal, based on Born's theory, was carried out for rock-salt by Kellermann1.
