In the present paper we study the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (up to 16 GPa) on the Raman spectrum of Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 single crystals. Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 belongs to the crystal family of rare earth garnets (Re 3 Al 2 (AlO 4 ) 3 , Re: Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, . . .). These materials crystallize with the bo

β¦ Synopsis
A high-pressure Raman study of BaCeO 3 was performed at room temperature. This perovskite compound undergoes two phase transitions at about 22 and 28 GPa. The increase in the number of bands is an indication that the symmetry is lowered and that the compound does not evolve towards the ideal cubic perovskite structure as has been observed for some perovskites. Raman-active modes exhibit large differences in their temperature and pressure dependences, and it is impossible to deduce thermoelastic coefficients directly. In order to circumvent this difficulty, a method based on the Gruneisen model is proposed for deriving compressibility and expansion coefficients from selected modes involving mainly bond stretching for each type of polyhedron. The additivity rules are discussed and provide reduced compressibility and expansion coefficients. Discrepancies between the measured thermal expansion coefficient obtained from diffraction results and calculated values are analysed in terms of anharmonicity.

The pressure dependence of the Raman spectra of was investigated up to 15.5 GPa. The anti-ferrodistortive SrTiO 3 cubic-tetragonal phase transition (phonon condensation at the R point of the Brillouin zone) occurs at about 6 GPa. The strong, broad bands, present under ambient conditions, sharpen and
A short-range force constant model was used to investigate the phonons in perovskite in the orthorhombic BaCeO 3 phase. The calculations with just 14 stretching and bending force constants provide good agreement for the Raman wavenumbers. The oxygen-oxygen interatomic forces are included explicitly
Raman spectra of the layered compound, antimony triiodide are reported for samples at ambient temperature and at pressures up to 16 GPa. Changes in the number of observed peaks and their wavenumbers, relative intensities and spectral linewidths are discussed. Evidence for reversible crystallographic
