Joint refinement of a local wave-function model from Compton and Bragg scattering data - art. no. 235115

The first joint refinement of a local wave-function model from diffraction and Compton scattering data is reported. The proposed method suits particul arly well the case of insulators. Crystalline magnesium oxide, for which bo th accurate directional Compton profiles and low-order structure factors ar e available, is chosen as a test case. In particular, it is shown that Comp ton scattering provides a wealth of additional information to the structure factors in the case of a chemical bond investigation.
