Effect of Electronic Structure on Compton Scattering of MgCl2 Solutions

Abstract

Based on the Compton scattering theoretical and experimental research, Compton scattering of MgCl2 solution is studied in this article. And the electronic structure of some aqueous MgCl2 solutions is analyzed profoundly according to the density functional theory. It is concluded that the factors affecting the counts of Compton scattering photon include the mass density, the scattering attenuation factor and the concentration of a solution, especially include the other two factors, (i) Electronic number density: with the decreasing of hydrated number of ions, the electronic density is approximately linear increasing; (ii) Mulliken atomic charge: according to the analyzing on the Mulliken atomic charge of the hydrated ions above, it can be obtained that the bounded strength for the hydrated ion systems become increasing with the concentration increasing of solutions.
