High pressure raman spectra of crystalline sulfur

Abstract

Abstract Well—resolved Raman spectra of crystalline sulfur have been recorded in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) in the pressure range from atmospheric pressure to 50 GPa at room temperature, using an 0.6 m triple spectrograph and a CCD multichannel detector. The spectra indicate two phase transitions in the pressure region between 10 and 15 GPa.
