On the Reactivity of Hydrogen-Helium and Hydrogen-Nitrogen at High Pressures
read the original abstract
Through a series of Raman spectroscopy studies, we investigate the behaviour of hydrogen-helium and hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures at high pressure across wide ranging concentrations. We find that there is no evidence of chemical association, miscibility, nor any demixing of hydrogen and helium in the solid state up to pressures of 250 GPa at 300 K. In contrast, we observe the formation of concentration-dependent N$_2$-H$_2$ van der Waals solids, which react to form N-H bonded compounds above 50 GPa. Through this combined study, we can demonstrate that the recently claimed chemical association of H$_2$-He can be attributed to significant N$_2$ contamination and subsequent formation of N$_2$-H$_2$ compounds.
