In a Raman spectroscopy experiment, a sample is irradiated with a given wavelength of light and the intensity and energy of the inelastically scattered radiation are measured. The energy difference between the incident radiation and scattered radiation gives information about the energy levels in the system.
Recent research at the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) facility has shown that it is possible to achieve conditions in an experiment similar to those at the center of planets.1 The European XFEL project is a unique facility capable of producing incredibly intense pulses of high-energy X-ray radiation.
At the heart of planets, extreme states are to be found: temperatures of thousands of degrees, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric
