Abstract
At the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), the triple point of neon was measured using an NMIJ sealed cell, NMIJ Ne-5, and a modular sealed-cell model, Ec2Ne, made by the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM) in Italy, and the results were compared. The melting curves obtained with the NMIJ Ne-5 cell show narrow widths (0.1 mK) over a wide range of the inverse of the melted fraction (1/F) from 1/F = 1 to 1/F = 10, which is consistent with a previous report. On the other hand, the width of the melting curves obtained with the Ec2Ne cell is 0.15 mK from 1/F = 1 to 1/F = 10. The liquidus point T tp estimated by the melting curves from F ~ 0.35 to F ~ 0.85 using the NMIJ cell is 0.05 mK higher than that using the Ec2Ne cell. The difference does not agree with the results obtained in an assay of the isotopic concentration from samples of the original Ne sources. The origin of the discrepancy has not been clarified yet.
