β¦ Synopsis
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 change their proΓle with increasing pressure. They diminish rapidly in their intensity above 13 GPa and disappear by 15.5 GPa. These pressure-induced changes can be due to increasing harmonicity of the stretching and bending Ti-O vibrations, leading to reduced intensity of the second-order Raman scattering, and/or due to the inhibition of the o β -center dynamic distortions at the Ti4' cation sites, and thus due to the decrease in intensity of the "disorder-inducedΓ Γrst-order Raman scattering. The spectrum at 15.5 GPa shows weak band splittings, which might indicate a further transformation to an orthorhombic phase of 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. SrTiO 3 . (

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
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 p
