Abstract
Polarized neutron diffraction has been an extremely valuable technique for studying outer electron distributions in magnetic materials through measurements of magnetic form factors. Representative results are presented on the following classes of elemental materials : 3d ferromagnetic metals, paramagnetic metals, rare-earth metals, and diamagnetic materials. In each case a comparison with the best available theoretical result is given. It is concluded that more theoretical effort is needed on the orbital moment in transition metals, particularly for the paramagnetic metals, in order to have a meaningful confrontation between theory and experiment.
