Multiple Scattering in Solids

The origins of multiple scattering theory (MST) can be traced back to Lord Rayleigh''s publication of a paper treating the electrical resistivity of an ar­ ray of spheres, which appeared more than a century ago. At its most basic, MST provides a technique for solving a linear partial differential equa­ tion defined over a region of space by dividing space into nonoverlapping subregions, solving th...
