Dear Wang, H.:
     LO-TO splitting always exists in Brillouin zone, but two points are worth noting:
(1) it is caused by short-range interactions, which are calculated directly from DFPT. The splitting at Gamma point is due to long-range dipolar interaction, which needs postprocessing with Born charge;
(2) only cubic crystals has LO and TO braches.

Best Wishes!
Yours Sincerely
L. F. Huang
