Eigenfrequency spectrum of isotopic two-component disordered lattice has been calculated approximately by a method which requires only a comparatively small amount of numerical work. An argument based on perturbation theory shows formally that the spectrum of completely random lattice is the same as that of virtual regular lattice composed of atoms with average mass, except at the edge and outside of the band. We have first investigated how far this statement is valid and obtained the result that the smaller the concentration of lighter atoms, the larger the frequency domain in which the spectrum can be regarded as approximately the same as that of virtual regular lattice. Next, we have calculated the spectrum in the neighborhood of the edge of the band where the above statement does not hold, by applying the moment-trace method only to that region. The result is that when the concentration of lighter atoms is comparable with or larger than that of heavier atoms, there is only one presumably rounded maximum at the position of the band-edge of virtual regular lattice, whereas when the number of lighter atom becomes smaller, there appears an impurity band, its separation from the main band coming out the more distinct, as the con centration of lighter atoms gets smaller. Both results are natural provided the spectrum is to approach that of Poisson lattice as the lighter atoms become few. In previous papersl) we treated the problem of eigenfrequency distribution of linear disordered lattices containing isotopic impurities by the method of transfer matrix. Eigenfrequencies were obtained from the equation Trace H=2, where H is a product of transfer matrices. When impurities are randomly distributed, we must investigate the statistics of the quantity Trace II. In the limiting case of infinitely small density of the impurities, i.e., in the case of "Poisson lattice ", it was possible to calculate its distribution function, from which we could conclude that there appears an extremely narrow impurity band centering about the impurity f.requency of the lattice containing only one impurity atom, while the distribution of in-band frequencies remains the same as that of regular lattice. Schmide) treated the problem by another but similar method and reached the same conclusion. He moreover obtained an approximate expression for the density distribution function of the impurity band. In the case of finite density of impurities, i.e., for "non-Poisson" lattice , however, it is impossible to obtain such a perspective result. What we could obtain was at most the average eigenfrequency equation (Trace H) =2. The eigenfrequency spectrum derived from this proved to be identical with that of
