where 0 and are respectively the static and infinite frequency dielectric
constants. This relation is known as the Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation
A generalized form of the Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation holding for any crystal
was proposed by Cochran and Cowley:

=
S= 0 (q1 + q2)
kS = k0 (q1 +q2)
Since |kS|| k0|, q1 +q2 0: the vavevectors of the two phonons should be opposite,
but can have any value in the Brillouin zone. This produces a continuum spectrum, by
contrast with the line spectrum of the first-order Raman effect.
