16. The second-order acoustic-phonon feature of the Si substrate exhibits a negative pressure coefficient, thus, it shifts in opposite direction as the Ge-Ge Raman mode with increasing pressure. As a consequence, the precise determina-tion of the Ge-Ge peak position is impaired by the former only in a narrow pressure range around 1 GPa (see inset of Fig. 1, for instance).
