摘要
Room temperature angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on solid Ar up to 114 GPa reveal evidence of a structural phase transformation after stress relaxation by laser heating. Beyond 49.6 GPa, Ar exhibits the coexistence of fcc and hcp phases with an increasing hcp/fcc ratio, similar to the observation made recently on krypton and xenon. From the present results, we estimate the fcc-to-hcp transition to be completed at 300 GPa.
