MOMENTUM OF ELECTRONS IN SOLIDS

Abstract

Free electrons inside a metal in a continuous movement are studied. This movement of the electrons colliding with the photons causes Doppler effect which has as a result a broadening of the Compton scattering. The profile of the Compton band is a function of the momentum distribution of the electrons contributing to the scattering. The study of this profile presents the most direct meth d for the investigation of the momentum distribution. (Author)
