Finally, and for completeness, it should be noted that the intensity of Compton scattering from a magnetic material with a net spin moment will, in principle, differ from that from a non-magnetic material. For unpolarized radiation, the effects are only discernible at photon energies greatly in excess of the electron rest mass energy, mc2 = 511 keV, but for circularly polarized radiation effects at the 1% level can be found in Compton scattering experiments carried out at on ferromagnets such as iron. See Lipps & Tolhoek (1954a
,b
) for a comprehensive description of polarization phenomena in magnetic scattering and Lovesey (1993
) for an account of the scattering theory.
