Abstract
The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the vibrational spectra of monohydrides γ-TiH and γ-ZrH was studied by inelastic neutron scattering, the maximum experimental pressure being, respectively, P=15 and 17.5kbar. There was observed a uniform linear pressure-induced energy shift of each spectrum compared to that at ambient pressure with proportionality factors of 1.02 for γ-TiH and 1.03 for γ-ZrH. The observed linear shift of the one-phonon hydrogen modes and the bound multiphonons (biphonons and triphonons) is indicative of a pressure-induced increase of the anharmonicity parameters in the model Hamiltonian representing the strength of two-phonon and three-phonon interactions.
