Abstract
The Compton profiles of single-crystal Al2O3 and SiO2 were measured with MoKα radiation. The results indicate that a superposition of free-ion momentum densities (Al+3, O−2, Si+4) provides a good starting approximation to the momentum density in the solid. Some anisotropy in the Compton profile was observed in sapphire.
