Abstract
Extensive progress has been made in collaboration with the Erlangen group of Müller and Heinz in treating diffraction from the simplest class of disorder: a lattice gas of adsorbed atoms on an otherwise ordered substrate [1,2]. By using an interplay of Bloch’s theorem for the substrate and local treatments for the adsorbate, accurate calculations of the diffusely scattered intensities can be made. The central element of the theory is that in order to appear in the diffuse part of the pattern an electron must have struck an adsorbate atom and therefore its experience of the disorder is a strictly local one, just as in a SEXAFS experiment.
