The Compton x-ray line shape for single crystals of cubic transition metals has been calculated on the basis that the orbital charge density of the outer electrons can be described in terms of the commonly employed doubly and triply degenerate d orbitals. The Compton line shape in single crystals is very sensitive to departures from spherical symmetry. The line shape for vanadium is calculated based on the measured orbital population of 81%t 2g , 19%e g .
