Abstract

An expression for the Green's function (GF) of diamond lattice is evaluated analytically and numerically for a single impurity interacting with the first nearest-neighboring host atoms. The density of states (DOS), phase shift and scattering cross-section are expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals of the first kind.
