title: High-pressure melting curves of argon, krypton, and xenon: deviation from corresponding states theory.
abstract: The melting curves of argon, krypton, and xenon were measured in a laser heated diamond-anvil cell to pressures of nearly 80 GPa reaching melting temperatures around 3300 K. For the three gases, we observed a considerable decrease in the melting slopes (dT/dP) from the predictions based on corresponding states scaling starting near 40, 30, and 20 GPa, respectively. The melting anomaly can be understood in terms of a model in which hcp stacking faults act as solutes in a binary system.
