Abstract
Knowledge of the large and small momentum transfer behavior of the electron momentum distribution is an important ingredient in the analysis of experimental isotropic Compton profiles. This behavior ultimately rests upon the asymptotic behavior of atomic momentals (momentum space orbitals). The small momentum Maclaurin expansion and the large momentum asymptotic expansion of atomic momentals with arbitrary angular momentum quantum number are derived in this paper. Their implications for momentum densities and Compton profiles are derived and discussed.
