Abstract

The typical medium dynamical cluster approximation (TMDCA) is reformulated in the language of multiple scattering theory to make possible first principles calculations of the electronic structure of substitutionally disordered alloys including the effect of Anderson localization. The TMDCA allows for a systematic inclusion of non-local multi-site correlations and at same time provides an order parameter, the typical density of states, for the Anderson localization transition. The relation between the dynamical cluster approximation and the multiple scattering theory is analyzed, and is illustrated for a tight-binding model.
