Abstract

Some anisotropic quantities in crystalline solids can be determined from their knowledge along a limited number of sampling directions. The importance of the choice of such directions is illustrated on the example of estimating, from angular correlation of annihilation radiation data, the isotropic electron momentum density in Gd.
