✦ Synopsis

High resolution Compton profile measurements of single crystalline Li were performed for momentum transfer q k 110 with 0.12 a.u. momentum space resolution at room temperature and at 95 K using the Compton spectrometer of ID 15 B at ESRF. The valence electron Compton profile at room temperature is higher around p z 0 a:u: and lower for ͉p z ͉ Ͼ 0:4 a:u: when compared with the one at 95 K. The experimental results are in good agreement with calculations using an empirical pseudopotential scheme, where the variation of lattice constant with temperature is taken into account when calculating the Fermi energy and Fourier coefficients of the empirical pseudopotential are multiplied by the corresponding Debye-Waller factor to simulate the thermal disorder. Thus the measured temperature effect can be traced back not only to the variation of the lattice constant with temperature but also to the decreasing contributions of higher momentum components to the total momentum density with increasing temperature.

We study the quantum dynamics generated by H SW s yd 2 rdx 2 q V y x with V a real periodic function of weak regularity. We prove that the continuous spectrum of H SW is never empty, and furthermore that for V small enough there are no bound states.

## Abstract We study here several basic problems of the quantum mechanics of electrons which are embedded into a onedimensional (1D) nonlinear, thermally excited lattice. Our approach uses the tight‐binding model for the dynamics of the electrons. Through coupling terms in the Hamiltonian the elect
