Abstract

Compton profile measurements of increasing accuracy have stimulated the interest in wave functions and densities in momentum space. The Fourier transform of the momentum density can be interpreted as a sum of autocorrelation functions in position space. This quantity — the reciprocal form factor — contains important information about the geometry and the chemical bonding in the system.
