Abstract
A step by step procedure is suggested for solving electron scattering problems in crystals. First scattering for a single atom is calculated, then for a chain of atoms next for a layer of chains and finally for the entire crystal. The new method has great speed and flexibility. It is applicable to band structure and LEED calculations and is especially useful in the theory of RHEED.Keywords
