Some molecular Compton profiles

Abstract

Several calculations of atomic Compton profiles have shown that this physical property is very sensitive to the choice of the wavefunctions used to characterize the scattering system when calculating its kinetic energy as well as the mean values of its momentum and radius of charge distribution. The same method related to Dumond theory was applied to the case of molecules isoelectronic with neon and argon atoms. The results obtained give useful information about the charge distribution in the scattering system.
