Abstract

The mixed solid N 2Ar has been studied at high pressure at the nitrogen–rich side of the phase diagram by Raman spectroscopy. The argon atoms dissolve into some of the nitrogen structures. Within the δ*–phase the Ar–-atoms are mainly located at the sphere–like disordered sites in agreement with computer simulations. The second order transition of pure N 2 is still present in the mixed solid at 25 mole% Ar. The δ* – β* and β*–fluid transitions in the mixed solid are shifted compared to the pure system. The phase diagram of the mixture for x[N 2]≥0.75 has been studied.
