The combined use of either a nonpenetrating pressurizing medium—argon—or a penetrating one—helium, allows one to separate density from stress effects on the Raman frequencies. In the framework of a simple central force model, the results emphasize the distinct role played by the shrinkage of the intertetrahedral angle Si-O-Si and the force-constant stiffening during the compression. The polarization analysis further reveals the existence of an additional isotropic component in the high-frequency wing of the boson peak. The pressure dependence of the genuine boson peak frequency is found to be much weaker than previously reported and even goes through a minimum around 2 GPa in remarkable coincidence with the anomalous compressibility maximum of silica. %G English %L hal-01337959 %U https://hal.science/hal-01337959 %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ UPMC %~ CNRS %~ IMPMC %~ ALLINSP %~ L2C %~ USPC %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM-2015-2021
