In this paper we present Compton profile study on Nb x Mo 1— x ( x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) alloys. The measurements have been made using 59.54 keV γ‐rays from 5 Ci Am 241 source. The results are compared with available KKR‐ATA band calculations and the superposition of APW and LCGO Compton profiles of Nb and Mo. To see the organisational effects (charge transfer), we have compared our measurements with the superposition of Compton profiles of the pure constituent metals, weighted by their compositions. The good agreement between measurements and the corresponding superposition profiles suggests that there is no charge transfer in this system on alloying.
