We investigate the response of spectral holes to isotropic pressure va
riations for quite a series of systems: alcohol glasses, long chain mo
lecular aggregates and polymorphic systems. The latter one can be brou
ght into the crystalline as well as into the amorphous phase. From the
results, detailed conclusions on the relevant molecular interactions,
on the elastic behavior as well as on fundamental features of crystal
s and glasses can be drawn.
