Dear Huang:

This could depend on the definition of "LO-TO splitting", which I meant "the
> reduction of the LO-TO degeneracy".

I still have another question  :)
 Suppose a uniaxial crystal(no cubic): c>a=b. Suppose there is a
double-degenerate polar E_u mode, in which all atoms move in the a-b plane.
If the wavevector around Gamma point is in the a-b plane, the degenerate E
mode will split into LO and TO mode.
Am I right?
