The possibilities of obtaining precise momentum wave functions for atoms by direct solution of the wave equation in momentum space are examined in some detail. An iterative method of approximating to the wave function is employed in computing the momentum distribution function for the helium atom. Although in this instance considerable accuracy is achieved, formidable difficulties arise in extending the calculations to more complicated atoms.
