Figure 4

XRD patterns collected for four experimental runs at various pressures. Tick marks indicate the positions and predicted intensities for perfect powders of each compound in the pressure chamber; the arrows indicate the positions of diffraction peaks for hcp-argon. The inset represents the XRD image corresponding to run 5 pattern. In this run, argon sample was a fine powder and XRD rings are identified with red and orange arrows, corresponding to fcc Ar and platinum, respectively.
