Abstract

Experimental results with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation show that magnetic Compton scattering arises solely from the spin magnetization in the sample. This observation disagrees with the cross-section recently derived for bound electrons. The measurements were performed on HoFe2, a ferrimagnet with dominant orbital magnetization.
