Abstract

Using new high-temperature diamond-anvil-cell designs, together with a variety of optical techniques, we have measured the melting curves of

N_{2}

to 18.0 GPa,

O_{2}

to 16.3 GPa, and

F_{2}

2.5 GPa. One triple point is found on the

N_{2}

curve and two on the

O_{2}

curve. A simple ‘‘effective rotation’’ model of librational motions in the solid is used to obtain good theoretical fits to the experimental curves.
