Abstract
A method is developed for defining localized states and effective Hamiltonians in perturbed crystals. The method is based on the localization ideas in the representation for perfect lattices. An equation is derived defining localized states for perturbations caused by an impurity, a magnetic and electric fields. In this paper the impurity problem is considered in detail. A correction term is obtained to the one-band Koster-Slater effective Hamiltonian. It is shown to be significant for bound states and scattering cross sections of a localized impurity.
