17. The use of a Gaussian cutoff ensures a rapid convergence of the sums to appear over the reciprocal lattice. Combined with relations 19 25, it allows to avoid Ewald summation tricks, with which it shares however some mathematical features.

21. For ω02 to be positive, b should be large enough. For an hydrogenlike atom we may use the estimates ωB ≈ q2 / (4π ε0 a0) and dB ≈
22. The electric field of a free-field solution is a sum of plane waves which interfere destructively in all atomic positions. This sum thus includes at least two plane waves. Let us select arbitrarily two of these plane waves; if one has a wave vector k, the other one has a wave vector necessarily of the form k+K, where K RL, because of the Bloch theorem. These two waves have the same frequency ωfree and obey the free space dispersion relation, so that ωfree /c=k= | k+K |. Squaring this last equality gives 2kK+ K2 =0, so that k= k -K/2 where k is orthogonal to K. Then kK/2, which leads to Eq. 21.
23. One introduces Sαβ (k;b) = ∑R L exp (ikR) uαβ (r+R) r, with uαβ (r) = (δαβ -3 rα rβ / r2) / (4π r3) and... r denotes the average over r with the Gaussian probability distribution exp (- r2 /4 b2). Using Poisson's formula and restricting to k infK RL K, one obtains limb→0 Sαβ (k;b) [kα kβ k2 - δαβ + Jαβ] / VL. The Fourier transform of uαβ is indeed u αβ = kα kβ k2 - 1 3 δαβ. We define the right-hand side of Eq. 32 as limb→0 Sαβ (k;b) k, where... k stands for the uniform average over the direction of k. We then get Eq. 32.
24. A mathematical question is to know what is the exact minimal free-field frequency in the diamond atomic lattice. Within the two-mode ansatz of one finds a minimal ωfree /c=2π2/a. The general three-mode ansatz can give lower frequency solutions that however form a discrete set. The corresponding minimal value is ωfree /c=3π/ (a2); it is obtained by superimposing with the right amplitudes the three plane waves of wave vectors k= (-3π/2a,3π/2a,0) , k- e 1 and k+ e 2, with a common polarization = (1,1,0). We have not explored the ansatz with four waves or more.

30. The locations of the intensity maxima are ± (a/8,a/8,a/8) modulo any vector of the fcc lattice, so that they also form a diamond lattice.
