Abstract

Theoretical and experimental determinations of the charge density in two model systems, Si and Ge, are shown to be in agreement at the 0.1% level. With new X-ray sources, especially with high-energy synchrotron radiation, this achievement now opens the way for more subtle experiments determining core wavefunctions, anomalous dispersion, non-rigid atom thermal vibrations and anharmonicity.
