Abstract
The Compton profile of polycrystalline scandium has been measured with MoKα x rays. In the medium and high momentum regions the observed profile is in good agreement with that calculated from Hartree-Fock free atom wavefunctions for the valence-electron configuration 3d4s2. At small momentum values the experimental profile lies between those computed for the conduction-electron configurations 3d4s2 and 3d24s.
