The Compton profile, projection of electron momentum density distribution along the scattering vector, is very sensitive to the behavior of valence electrons in a variety of materials. In this paper theoretical aspects related to measurement of spin momentum densities of magnetic materials using Compton scattering is reviewed. To highlight the potential of the magnetic Compton scattering, the spin momentum densities in Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys at various temperatures and magnetic fields are presented. The magnetic Compton profiles are mainly analyzed in terms of the contribution from the 3d electrons of Mn. A comparison of the magnetic Compton data with other magnetization studies illustrates its importance in exploring the magnetic effects in ferro- or ferri-magnetic materials.

Spin momentum density in Ni2Mn1.4Sn0.6 shape memory alloy has been measured using magnetic Compton scattering technique. The experiment has been performed using 182 keV circularly polarized synchrotron radiation at temperature 10 K at SPring-8, Japan. Experimental magnetic Compton profile has been decomposed to determine the site specific magnetic moments, where the magnetic moment at Mn site was found to be dominating. It is seen that the total spin moment in present non-stoichiometric alloy is smaller than that of stoichiometric Ni2MnSn.
