This occur when two phonons interact and the sum of their momenta add to a new wavevector outside the new Brillioun zone. The resulting wavevector is then mapped back into the Brillioun zone by subtraction of a suitable reciprocal lattice vector.
I don't think I understand the physics in all of this. I understand the idea but what is physically going on in this process and where does the leftover momentum go?
