We have observed the bulk Fermi surface (FS) in an overdoped (x=0.3) single crystal of La₂₋ₓSrₓCuO₄ by using Compton scattering. A two-dimensional (2D) momentum density reconstruction from measured Compton profiles yields a clear FS signature in the third Brillouin zone along [100]. The quantitative agreement between density functional theory (DFT) calculations and momentum density experiment suggests that Fermi-liquid physics is restored in the overdoped regime. In particular the predicted FS topology is found to be in good accord with the corresponding experimental data. We find similar quantitative agreement between the measured 2D angular correlation of positron annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR) spectra …

The three-dimensional electron momentum density ρ(p) in Li is reconstructed via a direct Fourier transform method which is free from functional assumptions concerning the shape of ρ(p). For this purpose, 12 high-resolution Compton profiles are measured, and corresponding highly accurate computations carried out within the band theory framework. Extensive comparisons between the ρ(p)’s reconstructed from the theoretical and experimental profiles with each other and with the true (without reconstruction) underlying computed ρ(p) are used to gain insight into the accuracy of our procedures, and to delineate the effects of various parameters (filtering, resolution, eTc.) on the reconstructed ρ(p). …

We present experimental and theoretical Compton profiles, J(q), for a series of CuₓNi₁₋ₓ alloys. This is the first comprehensive study of Compton profiles in an alloy system. The experiments were carried out using 60-keV γ rays on five polycrystalline alloy samples with Cu concentrations x=0.40,0.50,0.55,0.60,0.65 and on pure Cu and pure Ni. Our computations of J(q) are based on the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation scheme for treating the average electronic spectrum of the alloy. The theory reproduces the main features of the observed Compton profiles. The experimental Compton profiles show a nearly linear dependence on concentration while the theoretically predicted Compton …
