Abstract
We derive the normal mode frequency spectra\(\omega (\vec K)\) for a rectangular lattice of electric dipoles oscillating about configurations corresponding to relative minima in their mutual potential energy. For two such configurations —a) all dipoles parallel and b) adjacent rows antiparallel —we obtain numerical solutions for\(\omega (\vec K)\) for various choices of the lattice parameters.
