Structural Transitions in NaNH 2 via Recrystallization under High Pressure

The acetic acid-water binary system is a classical hydroxy-carboxy mixed system while new and interesting phenomena appeared under stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). Compared with the weaker signal of acetic acid-water binary system obtained in spontaneous Raman scattering, SRS provides a finer band and a relatively distinct structural transition point. The structural transformation points are respectively at 30% and 80% by volume ratio under the condition of spontaneous Raman spectroscopy, while the structural transformation points are respectively at 15% and 25% under the condition of SRS. This phenomenon is attributed to the generation of laser induced plasma and shockwave induced dynamic high pressure environment during SRS.
