Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rare gas dependence of the energetic stability of the clathrate structure in rare gas -SiO2 system and the rare gas -H2O system has been evaluated in details. Spontaneous symmetry breaking of rare gas hydrate at cooling has been proposed. In addition, a new crystal structure candidate of Xe - halogen system under high pressure was discovered as a by-product. These achievements are now being prepared for publication. The structure and stability of the ice under the high pressure was studied as a preparatory study for the rare gas hydrates. Although it was not included in the research plan, evaluation of the solubility of rare gas into molten iron (outer core) is an important issue to be addressed for the final solution of the problem.
