Abstract

AbstractStarting from a pseudopotential calculation Compton profiles for h.c.p. magnesium single crystals are calculated. They are given for nine directions and for the directionally averaged case. The complete 〈001〉 profile of Mg is compared with an experimental result. The experimental Compton profile is slightly broader than the theoretical one because of the electron‐electron correlation. The anisotropy for I〈001〉–I 〈100〉 and I 〈001〉–I 〈110〉 is found to be smaller than for experimental profiles but larger than for theoretical ones calculated by the APW method.
