PALS investigation of resorcinol under high pressure

Two kinds of measurements were conducted with resorcinol at high pressure : the first one with the use of a mechanical press and the second one with the use of a gaseous compressor. In the second case, due to some gas penetrating the material structure, the lifetime spectra obtained were difficult to analyze. The free volumes in resorcinol were influenced both by high pressure and the gas coming into the crystallographic structure.
