Dear Professor Eyvaz: Thank you very much for your instruction:) >When q is zero, there is no longitude and transverse mode. > Really? How about optical modes? Did you pay attention to "O"? > I do not express myself clearly. When q=0, q has no direction. Therefore, optical modes can not be classified into longitude or transverse ones. As a result, at q=0, these optical phonon should be still degenerate( LO=TO ).
