Conditions for Rotational Invariance of a Harmonic Lattice

Abstract
The conditions for rotational invariance of a Born—von Karman lattice model are re-examined. It is found that the Born—Huang conditions for rotational invariance are necessary but not sufficient. Some additional conditions are obtained which, together with the Born—Huang conditions, constitute a set of necessary and sufficient conditions.
