Global InformationNikolai Kasterin information
Nikolai Petrovich Kasterin (1869–1947) was a physicist and a student of Aleksandr Stoletov. His 1903 doctoral dissertation, portions of which were published in German in the Proceedings of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam under the sponsorship of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes,[1] is considered to be a pivotal contribution to multiple scattering theory (MST) by such experts as Paul Peter Ewald and Jan Korringa.[2] The MST formalism is widely used for electronic structure calculations as well as diffraction theory, and is the subject of many books.[3][4] He lived in the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union.
