Dear Stefano:

Thank you very much for the answers. I lernt much from those. In some
textbook the force constant matrix are
                  (   L       L' )
F                (               )
  alpha,beta (   K      K' )         L is the index of cells, K index of
different atoms.

(1) Can I rewrite the F_(alpha,beta)^(na,nb)(R) as
                   (   0       L'  )
F                (                )            while L' is L(a,b,c)
L(R)       ?
  alpha,beta (  na      nb )

(2) F_{alpha,beta} matrix is 3X3 matrix. And It acts like other two rank
tensor ( dielectric tensor, electric conductivity tensor) under symmetry
operations ?  The independent parameters can be decided by group theory ?
one for cubic system.

(3) I pick up the
" x  x   1  1
 2 1  1   x.xxxx "
lines

==========================
why Fxx /=  Fyy = Fzz ?

I am sorry for my poor english. Also sorry for so many annoying question,
self-teaching is a hard and careful work.
