The long-wavelength method is applied to calculate interatomic force constants for a cubic lattice with the nearest and next-to-nearest neighbours taken into account. In the final expressions the interatomic potential parameters in the two-particle approach are represented via elastic modules of crystal. Using the numerical method the parameters of a power potential are obtained.
