We present an extensive study pertaining to the quantum-mechanical sys
tem of independent electrons in a magnetic field interacting with a fi
nite or infinite number of point impurities (a concept that we develop
below). The case where there is a single impurity is completely solve
d; namely, the corresponding scattering operators in two and three spa
ce dimensions are explicitly constructed and the electron spectrum is
analyzed. Extension to the case where there is a finite number of impu
rities is straightforward. The situation is much more subtle when the
set of impurities is infinite (albeit countable). We were able to deri
ve the pertinent equations from which the spectrum and wave functions
can be determined. Special effort is devoted to the study of a two-dim
ensional electron gas interacting with an infinite set of random point
impurities located on the sites of a regular square lattice (with lat
tice constant d, say) subject to a perpendicular magnetic field B. It
is shown that when the energy eigenvalue coincides with one of the Lan
dau energies E(n)B (n = 0, 1,...), there is a certain field B(n) = (n
+ 1)d2PHI0 (here PHI0 = hc/e), such that if B > B(n), there exist diso
rder-independent extended eigenstates in the system. These wave functi
ons are given analytically in closed form.
