The scattering of spin waves by magnetic point defects is considered using a Green's function method. A partial-wave expansion for the scattering amplitude is derived. An expression for the cross section is determined which includes the effect of resonant states. Application is made to the calculation of the thermal conductivity of an insulating ferromagnet.
