Abstract:
The isotropic Compton profile of lithium fluoride has been deduced from Compton scattering
measurements on poly crystalline sample at gamma ray source energy of 662 keV. Here we
report the experimental and theoretical Compton profile of lithium fluoride. We calculated
directional Compton profile and their anisotropic effect using self-consistent Hatree-Fock
wave functions employed on the linear combination of atomic orbital (HF-LCAO)
approximation. The spherical average Compton profile has also been calculated and
compared with the experimental results. The experimental results are found to be in good
agreement with the HF-LCAO results and in qualitative agreement with Hartree-Fock free
atom values.
