I find the expression:
"In general, one can expand the atomic displacements in terms of all the lattice wave
modes (resembles a Fourier series expansion)"
at:
https://courses.cit.cornell.edu/ece407/Lectures/handout17.pdf
But I have not found the expression in any other literature. (In fact, some literature, like P.Y. Yu and M. Cardona: Fundamentals of Semiconductors, a long wavelength limitation seems to have been imposed.) Is the above-cited expression correct (in 3D lattice)?
Thank for your assistance.
