Solubility of fluid helium in solid nitrogen at high pressure

Abstract
Experiments carried out at high pressures show that the transition of completely ordered solid ε-N2 to orientationally disordered δ-N2 is shifted over a factor of 2 in temperature or pressure due to the admixture of fluid helium. Between 5.4 and 11.0 mole % helium can be dissolved in ε-N2, favoring the occurrence of this ordered phase. In contrast, the transition from disordered δ-N2 to disordered β-N2 is not shifted at all.
