7. We have limited our measurements to a maximum pressure of 11.9 GPa, since at about 10 GPa the linewidths start to increase (already evident for the 10.91-GPa spectrum in Fig. 1) because of nonhydrostatic conditions. For hydrostatic conditions it is necessary to heat the pressure medium (He) above its melting point after a pressure change (Refs. 27 and 28). For pressures above 10 GPa this is not possible anymore, since at such pressures the melting point of He is higher than room temperature (Ref. 29).
