Abstract

We present an extended investigation of phase I of carbon dioxide by x-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques at simultaneous high pressure and high temperature, up to 12 GPa and 800 K. Based on the present and literature data, we show that a Mie-Grüneisen-Debye model reproduces within experimental uncertainties the equation of state of CO(2) over the entire range of stability of phase I. Using infrared and Raman spectroscopy, we have determined the frequencies of the zone-center lattice modes as a function of pressure and temperature. We have then extracted the volume and temperature dependencies of the optical lattice mode frequencies and their respective Grüneisen parameters. We find a large difference between the thermodynamic Grüneisen parameter obtained from the P-V-T data and those associated with the optical lattice modes. This suggests, within the quasiharmonic approximation, that acoustic modes have a dominant contribution to the anharmonicity of the system.
