Abstract

AbstractWe present momentum densities and Compton profiles for gold calculated in the local‐density approximation (LDA) by use of the modified augmented plane wave (MAPW) self‐consistent scheme. Our theoretical calculations have been compared with our experimental Compton profile, measured at an intermediate resolution (0.40 a.u.) using 661.65 keV gamma‐rays. We have also compared our measurements with the APW calculations of Papanicolaou et al. It is seen that our LDA‐MAPW calculations with e––e– correlation correction are in better agreement with our experimental data. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
