The effect of an impurity on the spectrum of a Bloch electron in a uniform magnetic field is studied. Rational values of the magnetic flux parameter, defined as the ratio between the magnetic flux through a unit cell and the flux quantum, have been considered, corresponding to a subband spectrum for the electron energy. The impurity levels are determined through an extension of the Koster–Slater method, using the magnetic Wannier functions, a generalization of the usual Wannier functions in the presence of a magnetic field.
