(a) Raman spectra of PtS2 under pressures up to 6.4 GPa in compression procedures. The peak frequencies of Eg and A1g modes of PtS2 as functions of applied pressure are displayed in panel (b) and panel (c), respectively. Insets of panels (b) and (c) depict the schematics of the Eg and A1g vibration modes.
