Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to study hydrogen-helium mixtures in the fluid phase under high pressure and high temperature using Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy. The experiments will be conducted in a diamond anvil cell with laser heating, allowing exploration of a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions representative of the interiors of gas giant planets (1-300 GPa, 300-4000 K). Raman spectroscopy will be used to probe possible chemical changes occurring under extreme conditions, while Brillouin spectroscopy will provide access to the adiabatic sound velocity and the equations of state of these fluid mixtures. These data will be particularly useful for improving the modeling of Jupiter and Saturn’s interiors.
