Abstract

The electron-momentum distribution in hexagonal-close-packed zirconium has been studied for the first time with use of a Compton-scattering technique. Measurements have been made by scattering 59.54-keV \ensuremath{\gamma} rays. Theoretical computations have been carried out with use of the renormalized-free-atom model for various 4d-5s configurations. Best agreement between theory and experiment is found if the electron configuration is chosen as 4${d}^{3}$5${s}^{1}$.
