COMPTON PROFILE OF VANADIUM CARBIDE

摘要

The isotropic Compton profile of vanadium carbide has been measured using 59.54 keV gamma radiation. To compare the experimental result with theory the Compton profile has been calculated within the frame work of the renormalized free atom model considering different V 3d C 2p shell electronic configurations. The electronic shell configuration of V 3d~(2.2) C 2p~(4.8) has been found to be appropriate for vanadium carbide.
