Abstract
Theoretical study of orientational intra-plane ordering in the second stage graphite intercalation compounds is presented with particular emphasis on the role of phonons. It is shown that the rotation angle of intercalant layers relative to the graphite layers is predominantly determined by intra = plane transverse modes and also depends on the ratio of lattice constants of both intercalant and graphite layens.
