Sb. Dugdale et T. Jarlborg, THERMAL DISORDER VERSUS CORRELATION IN COMPTON PROFILES FROM ALKALI-METALS, Solid state communications, 105(5), 1998, pp. 283-287
Local density band structure and electron momentum densities have been
calculated for Li and Na in ordered and disordered bcc structures usi
ng the self-consistent LMTO method. Calculated Compton profiles are fo
und to become more delocalized by the effects of disorder and electron
-electron correlation. It is suggested that the reported discrepancies
between calculated and measured Compton Profiles in Li are due to the
rmal disorder. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
