The electron momentum density distribution and phase transition in ZnS are reported in this paper. The calculations are performed on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) based on the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method. To compare the theoretical Compton profile, the measurement on polycrystalline ZnS has been made using a Compton spectrometer employing 59.54 keV gamma rays. The spherically averaged theoretical Compton profile is in agreement with the measurement. On the basis of equal valence-electron-density Compton profiles, it is found that ZnS is less covalent as compared to ZnSe. The present study suggests zincblende (ZB) to rocksalt (RS) phase transition at 13.7 GPa. The calculated transition pressure is found in good agreement with the previous investigations.

Abstract A practical method for the calculation of Compton profiles for cubic systems with O and Oh symmetry is presented that is based on a multipole expansion of the electron momentum density (EMD) in terms of cubic harmonics. The central quantities, the expansion coefficients, are deter-mined by a Gaussian-type integration (special directions) over the angular coordinates. From these coefficients the coefficients of an analogous expansion of the Compton profile can be directly calculated, establishing a transparent relationship between the electron momentum density and the Compton profile. This direct relationship offers the possibility of tracing back Compton-profile anisotropics to EMD anisotropics more easily, as demonstrated for MgO and FeAl.
