The phonon frequencies of V 3 Si along the principal symmetry directions are calculated for a two band model from the microscopic dielectric screening approach. The d‐electrons are approximated by a δ 2 band without interchain coupling. For the electron‐ion interaction a local Heine‐Abarenkov pseudopotential is used, with parameters very similar to those given before for V and Si. The results agree semiquantitatively with inelastic neutron scattering data and exhibit the observed softening of the TA mode in [110] and of the LA mode in [100]. In addition, LA mode softening along [110] and [111] is predicted. The Γ 12 optic mode shows a small decrease with decreasing temperature.
