Description

We report high resolution Compton scattering measurements on an Al97Li3 disordered alloy single crystal for momentum transfer along the [100], [110], and [111] symmetry directions. The results are interpreted via corresponding Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation first-principles computations. By comparing spectra for Al97Li3 and Al, we show that the momentum density in the alloy differs significantly from the predictions of the conventional Fermi-liquid picture and that the ground state of Al is modified anomalously by the addition of Li
