Goals and motivations for building a Brillouin system at BMD-13

Simultaneous measurements of: Density by x-ray diffraction Sound velocities by Brillouin scattering

Determination of an absolute pressure scales. The equation of state and velocities as a function of pressure could be determined without resort to a secondary pressure standard.

Velocity-density measurements under a wide range of P-T conditions. High-T-P EOS parameters of materials (single crystal elastic constants, velocities, adiabatic and isothermal bulk moduli, shear modulus, and their P-T derivatives; thermal expansion and Gruneisen parameter as a function of P and T)

A central Brillouin facility, open to the entire community and not widely available elsewhere (except in a few specialized labs).

Brillouin spectroscopy

Key design considerations User-friendly: possible to operate without being an expert. Quick setup and break-down of Brillouin experiments Fast and reliable alignment procedure, requiring minimum

setup time. Complete remote control (of optics and electronics, data

collection, outside the hutch Compatible with both powder and single crystal diffraction

techniques Different scattering geometries : 50, 80, 180 degrees. Compact ( limited space in beamline station) Does not interfere with the other experimental techniques on

the beamline Satisfy all laser safety requirements for Class IV laser

February 2005• NaCl in B1 phase to 30 GPa.• MgO to 25 GPa.• Aggregate acoustic velocities, elastic moduli and

equation of state of polycrystalline NaCl in B2 phase to 53 GPa. – In all absolute pressure scale experiments gold + ruby
