20. In the interests of simplicity we omit prefactors and constants in the body of this work concentrating on those terms that are essential to the physics. We give a complete treatment in the Appendix where we also show how to extract the cross section from our results.
21. Strictly speaking we have (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) is a Green’s function satisfying the boundary condition (Formula presented) on the surface of integration, and (Formula presented) is the gradient in the direction of the surface normal 18, 3. However, this only introduces a change in the prefactor. See the Appendix for a complete treatment.

23. The use of crystals as energy defining elements has been briefly discussed according to the present viewpoint in Ref. 13 and will be discussed in more detail in a later work.
