19. Bohr and co-workers performed a synchrotron x-ray study of several mixtures, including Ar-Xe mixture, on graphite [see J. Bohr, M. Nielsen, J. Als-Nielsen, and K. Kjaer, Surf. Sci. 125, 181 (1983); J. Bohr, Ph.D. thesis, Technical University of Denmark, 1984]. However, no specific information about the melting properties of Ar-Xe mixtures was discussed in their publications.
