โฆ Synopsis
We present a formal approach, using integral equations of the LippmannSchwinger type, to the scattering of particles by semiinfinite periodic potentials. The two possible physical situations, scattering of free plane waves and scattering of Bloch waves, are treated with two1 different integral equations. The validity of this formalism to describe the particle wavefunction in the whole space is established, and its connection with the matching method is studied. The corresponding extinction theorems, one for each situation, are derived. Interesting relations among the probability amplitudes for both scattering problems are found.
