Abstract

The in situ high pressure Raman spectrum of CD_{4} was found to be subtly different from its’ hydrogenous analog, CH_{4}. High quality data were obtained for the first time for pressures between 12 and 20 GPa during both fast and slow compression. Similarly to CH_{4} in phase B, CD_{4} does exhibit peak splitting in the ν_{1} (symmetric stretch) and ν_{3} (antisymmetric stretch) modes, but having the emergent shoulders present on the high-frequency side of the peaks rather than the low-frequency one as in the case of CH_{4}. The general aspect of the Raman spectrum was found to be very different from that of CH_{4}, with modes ν_{1} and ν_{3} having comparable intensities and the latter being sharper and better defined, in stark contrast to how it appears in CH_{4}.
