The group velocity is always negative except k=0 and k=Pi/a in the
optical mode, is there a reason from the general picture of crystal
vibration? Well, it seems to me that optical mode describes the situation that different atoms in a unit cell have opposite motions.
Also, in the optical mode, the longer wavelength has the higher frequency,
which seems very weird to me.
thanks for attention
