Title: Backward stimulated Raman scattering in shock-compressed benzene

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Backward stimulated Raman scattering measurements have been used to measure the frequency shift of the 992-cm/sup -1/ vibrational ring-stretching mode of benzene shock-compressed to pressures of 0.6 to 1.2 GPa. Results of the dynamic experiment are compared to shifts measured for benzene isothermally compressed with a diamond-anvil cell. A Grueneisen mode ..gamma.. was determined for this vibrational degree of freedom.
