Abstract

Pressure-dependent Raman scattering studies have been performed on stearic acid single crystal, C form. The vibrational spectra have been recorded in the 20-1200cm(-1) and in the 2800-3100cm(-1) spectral regions. The behavior of the Raman modes indicates that the crystal undergoes a series of structural modifications. The change observed between 0.8 and 1.27 GPa was associated with a conformational modification or tilting of the dimer. A second modification was observed at similar to 2.5 GPa accompanied by jump of lattice mode frequencies, and the appearance and disappearance of bands. Finally, a third set of changes in the Raman band profile was observed between 3.3 and 3.8 GPa and was associated with another structural phase transition. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
