A compton profile study of tantalum

We report the results of Compton profile study on polycrystalline tantalum. Measurements have been made using 59.54 keV gamma-rays. The results are compared with the APW band structure calculations of Papanicolaouet al and other available data. In contrast to the work of Changet al the overall agreement is better with the APW band structure which worsens on incorporating the electron correlation correction. Estimates of the errors due to the contribution from bremsstrahlung, non-validity of impulse-approximation and anomalous dispersion are also briefly discussed.     

Compton profile study of α-manganese

The results of a Compton profile study on polycrystallineα-Mn are reported. Our measurement are compared with theoretical results computed for different 3d-4s electron configurations within the RFA model. Best agreement between the measured and calculated values is found for 3d ^5·44s ^1·6 configuration. Theoretical Compton profile ofγ-Mn calculated using the same procedure is close to that for bcc phase with similar electron configurations.     

Compton profile of molybdenum

In this paper we report the experimental Compton profile of polycrystalline molybdenum. The measurements have been made by scattering 59.54 keVγ-rays and are compared with the recent band structure calculation of Janiet al. [4]. These results have also been compared with our calculation based on the renormalized-free-atom model for different 4d-5s configurations. It is found that the present experimental data are relatively in good agreement with the band structure calculation.     

Renormalized-free-atom model and Compton profile of hcp cobalt

Compton profile of cobalt has been calculated employing the renormalized-free-atom model for fcc as well as hcp phases choosing several 3d-4s configurations. The results have been compared with recent gamma-ray measurements on polycrystalline Co. Best agreement between theory and experiment is found for 3d ⁷4s ² configuration. Comparison with free electron model has also been made for this case.     

Performance of 20 Ci137Cs γ-ray Compton spectrometer for the study of momentum densities

In this paper, we present the design and construction of a 20 Ci γ-ray Compton spectrometer that employs a¹³⁷ Cs source with a strong line at 661.65 keV. The total resolution of the spectrometer in momentum scale is 0.40 a.u., which is much better than the conventional²⁴¹Am Compton spectrometers. The in-house¹³⁷Cs spectrometer is very useful for the measurement of momentum densities of heavy materials. The performance of the machine is assessed using aluminum, terbium and mercury samples and the experimental data from comparable apparatus.     

Compton profile of tantalum

The Compton profile of tantalum (Ta) has been measured using IGP type coaxial photon detector. The target atoms were excited by means of 59.54 keV γ-rays from Am-241. The measurements were carried out on a high purity thin elemental foil. The data were recoreded in a 4 K multichannel analyzer. These data duly corrected for various effects are presented and compared with theoretical and measured values. Best agreement with experiment is found for the 5d³6s² electron configuration     

Electronic structure calculations and strong correlations: A model study

Metals with strong correlations are a major challenge for realistic electronic structure calculations. The complexity of the systems under consideration precludes a direct fully microscopic treatment by means of the theoretical and computational methods available at present. The present paper analyzes the applicability and restrictions of common approximation schemes by comparing their predictions for a model pertinent to heavy fermion metals to the exact solution. The criteria chosen for the assessment are the density distribution in the ground state as well as the energy scale for low-lying excitations.     

On a low intensity <Superscript>241</Superscript>Am Compton spectrometer for measurement of electron momentum density

In this paper, a new design and construction of a low intensity (100 mCi) ²⁴¹Am γ-ray Compton spectrometer is presented. The planar spectrometer is based on a small disc source with the shortest geometry. Measurement of the momentum density of polycrystalline Al is used to evaluate the performance of the new design. The measured profile is in good agreement with the existing theoretical data and our density functional calculations.      

Electron momentum distributions and compton profiles of some molecules with FSGO model

The electron momentum distributions and the Compton profiles (within the impulse approximation) of H₂, LiH, methane, water, acetylene, ethylene, ethane cyclopropane and cyclobutane have been calculated using the floating spherical Gaussian orbital (FSGO) wavefunctions. The agreement of the single-FSGO Compton profiles with the corresponding experimental or the Hartree-Fock (HF-SCF) theoretical ones is fairly good in most of the cases examined. The advantages and drawbacks of using the FSGO model for the calculation of Compton profiles are discussed.     

Electron momentum density and Compton profile by a semi-empirical approach

Here we propose a semi-empirical approach to describe with good accuracy the electron momentum densities and Compton profiles for a wide range of pure crystalline metals. In the present approach, we use an experimental Compton profile to fit an analytical expression for the momentum densities of the valence electrons. This expression is similar to a Fermi–Dirac distribution function with two parameters, one of which coincides with the ground state kinetic energy of the free-electron gas and the other resembles the electron–electron interaction energy. In the proposed scheme conduction electrons are neither completely free nor completely bound to the atomic nucleus. This procedure allows us to include correlation effects.We tested the approach for all metals with Z=3–50 and showed the results for three representative elements: Li, Be and Al from high-resolution experiments.

Experimental and theoretical Compton profiles of Be, C and Al

The results of Compton profile measurements, Fermi momentum determinations, and theoretical values obtained from a linear combination of Slater-type orbital (STO) for core electrons in beryllium; carbon and aluminium are presented. In addition, a Thomas-Fermi model is used to estimate the contribution of valence electrons to the Compton profile. Measurements were performed using monoenergetic photons of 59.54 keV provided by a low-intensity Am-241 γ-ray source. Scattered photons were detected at 90° from the beam direction using a p-type coaxial high-purity germanium detector (HPGe). The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical calculations.

研究了强激光等离子体中多光子非线性Compton效应下阻尼电子与光子的散射特性,推出了其微分散射截面表达式。研究表明,尾波场的涨落和随机误差是电子发生纵向群聚的根本原因,且能引起电子更剧烈的群聚。电子横向动量的变化是引起电子和光子散射的根本原因,其微分散射截面随与一个电子同时作用的光子数的增大而减小,随散射非弹性成分的增大而迅速减小,但比激光场中的情况来得慢一些。只有当与电子同时作用的光子数与散射非弹性成分相等时电子才能被光场俘获。     

Electrons in the Field of Interfering Laser Pulses with Tilted Fronts: Formation of Compressed Bunches and Their Application for the Generation of Coherent γ – Rays

Simulations show that optical traps for charged particles can be formed in the fields of intense ultrashort laser pulses with tilted amplitude fronts. The traps travel in space with the velocities close to the speed of light and can be used for the creation of electron bunches which, at the laser intensities which are currently attainable, are compressed to proportions far below the laser wavelength and have energies reaching hundreds of GeV per particle. If an additional ultrashort laser pulse is propagated in the direction opposite to that of the bunch motion and interacts with the electrons, inverse Compton scattering occurs, with most of the electron energy being transferred to the resulting gamma‐quanta.

Electron momentum density distribution in iridium by Compton scattering technique

The isotropic Compton profile of iridium, measured using 59.54 keVγ-rays, is reported in this paper. The results are compared with the theoretical Compton profiles from APW method with and without incorporating electron correlation effects. It is seen that correlation effects improve the agreement between the experiment and theory. Comparison with the renormalized-free-atom (RFA) model calculations has also been made. Behaviour ofd-band electrons in Ir and some other 5d transition metals is discussed in terms of broadening in their Compton profiles.     

Electronic structure of MgS and MgYb2S4: Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy and self-consistent multiple scattering calculations

The electronic structure of MgS and MgYb₂S₄ have been studied using the fine structure of the Mg-K, S-K, Mg-L_2,3, S-L_2,3 and Yb-N₅ edges measured by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). Our experimental results are compared with real-space full multiple scattering calculations as incorporated in the FEFF9.6 code. All edges are very well reproduced. Total and partial densities of states have been calculated. The calculated densities of states of Mg and S are similar in both compounds. The energy distribution of these states suggests a covalent nature for both materials. For MgYb₂S₄ a band gap smaller than for MgS is predicted. In this compound the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band are dominated by Yb states.     

类氢离子的相对论康普顿轮廓（英文）

基于中心场近似得到Dirac径向轨道,并使用恰当的Fourier变换系统计算了类氢离子电子动量分布和康普顿轮廓。以H原子和Xe53+离子为例,探讨了相对论效应和原子核的有限体积效应对单电子康普顿轮廓的影响。同时,详细研究了单电子康普顿轮廓对主量子数n、轨道量子数l、单电子总角动量量子数j和核电荷数Z的依赖关系。结果表明,相对论效应可以扩展康普顿轮廓的分布,并且使给定nl的轨道随着Z的增加分裂得越来越明显。然而,相对论效应也会随着主量子数n和轨道量子数l的增加而减弱。同时,对于nl_j轨道,其康普顿轮廓还具有n-l个平台的结构。另外,原子核的有限体积几乎不会影响H原子和Xe53+离子的康普顿轮廓。The Compton profiles of the electron in the ground and excited states of H-like ions have been calculated systematically with one-electron Dirac radial orbitals by using the proper Fourier transformation. Taking the H atom and Xe53+ ion as examples, the effects of relativity and finite nuclear size on Compton profile have been discussed. Furthermore, the dependence of one-electron Compton profile on the principle quantum number n, orbital quantum number l, angular quantum number j and nuclear charge Z has also been discussed. It is found that the relativistic effect can expand the distribution of the Compton profile and split the orbital more and more obviously for given nl(l=0) as increasing Z. However, the relativistic effect can gradually weaken with the increase of the principal quantum number n and orbital quantum number l. Furthermore, the Compton profile of the orbital with quantum number nl_j has certain number of platforms that is n-l. In addition, the nuclear finite size hardly affects the Compton profile for H atom and Xe53+ ion.
