Abstract

Abstract The effect of a polarizable impurity atom on the frequency of optical vibrations of a polar crystal is calculated. The impurity-lattice interaction is treated by considering lattice polarization as discrete in contrast to earlier methods based on continuum approximation. In the appropriate limit, our result goes over exactly to the result of earlier approximation.
