Abstract
Long-wavelength optical phonons in multinary mixed crystals are studied based on the Pseudo-Unit-Cell model. A unitary matrix method is developed to calculate the eigenfrequencies of optical phonons in multinary mixed crystals. The analytical expressions of oscillator strengths and dielectric constants of the multinary mixed crystals are obtained as a function of the phonon frequencies. The results indicate that the composition dependence of oscillator strengths shows clearly the phonon-mode behaviors of the mixed crystals. The theory and calculation method can be applied to any type of multinary mixed crystals. It is found that there is a composition independent point for the dielectric constant of quaternary mixed crystals.
