Abstract
Some simple but approximate relationships arc shown to yield the total deformation potential energy of a crystal from a summation of the structure factors and their squares. By application of the virial theorem this deformation potential should be consistent with similar kinetic energy differences obtained from integration of the Compton profiles in addition to being consistent with the cohesive energy of the crystal.
