Abstract
Abstract The Compton profiles of magnesium single crystals have been measured with scattering vectors perpendicular to the planes (0001), (1010) and (1120) using 60 keV radiation from a 241Am source. The anisotropy in the electron momentum distribution was found to be very small. This is in agreement with a recent band-structure calculation and with positron annihilation experiments but in disagreement with an earlier X-ray Compton profile measurement. A polycrystalline sample of Mg has also been measured and the experimental result for the valence electron contribution has been compared with the earlier experiments and with the theoretical models available.
