Abstract
The binary phase diagram of He-Ne mixtures has been measured at 296 K in a diamond anvil cell. It is of the eutectic type with no fluid-fluid separation of phases. A homogeneous solid mixture is shown to be stable for a mole fraction of He equal to 2/3. Single-crystal synchrotron x-ray measurements indicate that this solid is ordered with 12 atoms in the unit cell. Gibbs free energy calculations support the attribution to the type structure. It is the first Laves phase observed in a van der Waals molecular compound,
