Brillouin scattering spectra of MgO at 54.7 GPa.
VL(s) and VT(s)
are the longitudinal and transverse sound velocities, respectively, for
the sample. R and D are the Rayleigh and diamond peaks, respectively.
The longitudinal peaks of the helium medium, which were very close to
the sample peaks, can be subtracted by control measurements on the pure
helium (area of the gasket hole without the sample).
