Abstract

A general description has been given of an application of the Wilson's GF-matrix method to the treatment of optically active lattice vibrations. As examples, formulas are derived for the calculation of the frequencies of the lattice vibrations of a one-dimensional, the diamond, and CaF2 lattices.
