Abstract

Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the universe, and they constitute the interiors of gas giant planets. Thus, their equations of states, phase, chemical state, and chemical reactivity at extreme conditions are of great interest. Applying Raman spectroscopy, visual observation, and synchrotron X-ray diffraction in diamond anvil cells, we performed experiments on H 2 -He 1:1 and D 2 -He 1:10 compressed gas mixtures up to 100 GPa at 300 K. By comparing with the available data on pure bulk materials, we find no sign of miscibility, chemical reactivity, and new compound formation. This result establishes a new baseline for future investigations of miscibility in the He-H 2 system at extreme P-T conditions.
