Abstract

In a foregoing publication a self-consistent phonon theory for configurationally disordered crystals was discussed by W. Biem and the author. In this article some simplifications concerning the coherent potential approximation (CPA) equations and the static relaxations are derived with the help of group-theoretic methods. Besides the familiar reduction of the relevant matrices to block-diagonal form, a very fast Fourier transformation between thek space and the space spanned by symmetry-adapted coordinates is discussed. This allows a solution of the CPA equations without using the real lattice.
