Abstract
The electron momentum distributions and the Compton profiles (within the impulse approximation) of H2, LiH, methane, water, acetylene, ethylene, ethane cyclopropane and cyclobutane have been calculated using the floating spherical Gaussian orbital (FSGO) wavefunctions. The agreement of the single-FSGO Compton profiles with the corresponding experimental or the Hartree-Fock (HF-SCF) theoretical ones is fairly good in most of the cases examined. The advantages and drawbacks of using the FSGO model for the calculation of Compton profiles are discussed.
