Abstract

The lattice dynamic response of body-centered tetragonal +¦-Sn (I41/amd) under high-pressure and -temperature conditions is determined using experimental optical vibration modes. Raman scattering is used to map the phase stability region of +¦-Sn to perform mode Gr++neisen analysis, and we demonstrate the necessity of an optical intensity calibration for Raman thermometry. The Gr++neisen tensor is evaluated along a set of isotherms to address shortcomings of single-mode Gr++neisen parameters with respect to anisotropic deformations of this tetragonal structured soft metal. The changes observed here in the Gr++neisen tensor as a function of temperature are related to anharmonicity and denote potential criteria for the onset of premelting.
