Atomic scattering factors for thirty-five atoms and ions of the iron group transition series (Se through Cu) have been determined from Watson's recently calculated Hartree-Fock wave functions and compared with the few other available calculations. Principal scattering factors were also computed, following the methods of Freeman, for the 3d electrons of those atoms containing nonspherical charge distributions. As shown by Weiss & Freeman these are all that are needed for determining (from the measured neutron form factor) the spatial symmetry of the outer electrons in magnetic materials. Argon core scattering factors were also calculated, and, on the basis of these new results, the question of the constancy of the argon core is discussed quantitatively. Analysis of the 3d transforms for different stages of ionization shows another difficulty for the Weiss-:DeMarco experiments.
