Abstract

Compton profile measurement of iron polycrystalline sample has been performed with 662 keV γ-radiation from a caesium-137 source. The spectrometer calibration and data corrections for the high energy experiment are discussed. The data are compared with the augmented-plane-wave (APW) and linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) band theoretical Compton profiles of iron. Both theoretical predictions show the band theories overestimate the momentum density at low momenta and underestimate it at intermediate momenta.
