Optimising the performance of materials requires, among other things, the characterisation of residual stresses during the design stage. Raman spectroscopy offers access to these residual stresses at the micrometre scale when this inelastic light scattering is active in these materials. In this case, the relationship between the Raman mode shift and the pressure must be known. High-pressure cells with diamond anvils or bending instruments coupled to Raman spectrometers are habitually used to determine this relationship. In this article, we propose a new method that involves a Hertzian contact to obtain this relationship. A device that compresses an alumina ball against a transparent glass plane is connected to a Raman spectrometer. Under these conditions, the contact pressure can be as high as 1.5 GPa. The contact between the glass plane and the ball is observed through a diaphragm. Several hundred Raman spectra are recorded depending on the contact diameter. The spectral profiles obtained represent the shift in the Raman modes of alumina and glass along the contact diameter. Hertz’s theory accurately describes the pressure profile as a function of position for elastic materials. Therefore, the contact diameter can be measured by fitting the spectral profile with a function identical to the Hertz profile. We then deduce the maximum pressure. Next, the calculated pressure profile along the contact diameter is correlated with the spectral profile. We obtain a pressure dependence of the Raman mode with a coefficient equal to 2.07 cm−1/GPa for the Eg modes of alumina at 417 cm−1, which is in good agreement with the literature. In the case of glass, we refine the measurement of the Q3 mode shift at 1096 cm−1 in the studied pressure range compared to the literature. We find a coefficient of 4.31 cm−1/GPa. This work on static contacts opens up promising prospects for investigations into dynamic contacts in tribology.
