Abstract
An anomalous dispersion of transverse acoustic phonons, related to the ferroelastic phase transition in s-triazine crystal, have been analyzed. The dispersion relation has been found from the harmonic dynamical matrix which includes translational-rotational coupling. For the nearest neighbours interactions, the relation contains two competive terms followed from direct and indirect translational-translational coupling. When the indirect interactions are assumed to be temperature dependent, the relation reproduces the observed dispersion curves almost exactly.
