The isotropic Compton profile of europium, the most reactive lanthanide, has been measured at a resolution of 0.40 a.u. using 661.65 keV gamma-rays. In the absence of a band structure-based Compton profile, the experimental data are compared with renormalised-free-atom (RFA) and free electron models. It is seen that the RFA model with e−-e− correlation agrees better with the experiment than the free electron models. The first derivatives of the Compton profiles show the hybridization effects of s-, p-, d-, f-electrons. From our RFA data we have also computed the cohesive energy of europium.

Spin momentum density in Ni2Mn1.4Sn0.6 shape memory alloy has been measured using magnetic Compton scattering technique. The experiment has been performed using 182 keV circularly polarized synchrotron radiation at temperature 10 K at SPring-8, Japan. Experimental magnetic Compton profile has been decomposed to determine the site specific magnetic moments, where the magnetic moment at Mn site was found to be dominating. It is seen that the total spin moment in present non-stoichiometric alloy is smaller than that of stoichiometric Ni2MnSn.

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.

This paper discusses the possibility of using Compton scattering – an inelastic X-ray scattering process that yields a projection of the electron momentum density – to probe magnetoelectrical properties. It is shown that an antisymmetric component of the momentum density is a unique fingerprint of such time- and parity-odd physics. It is argued that polar ferromagnets are ideal candidates to demonstrate this phenomenon and the first experimental results are shown, on a single-domain crystal of GaFeO3. The measured antisymmetric Compton profile is very small (≃ 10−5of the symmetric part) and of the same order of magnitude as the statistical errors. Relativistic first-principles simulations of the antisymmetric Compton profile are presented and it is shown that, while the effect is indeed predicted by theory, and scales with the size of the valence spin–orbit interaction, its magnitude is significantly overestimated. The paper outlines some important constraints on the properties of the antisymmetric Compton profile arising from the underlying crystallographic symmetry of the sample.
