Chemical inertness and surface volatility, combined with low abundance, have made the rare gases a unique trace elemental and isotopic system for constraining the formation and evolution of the solid Earth and its atmosphere. This geochemical role developed in parallel with extensive physical-property measurements on the condensed rare gases. Here we examine the implications of recent high-pressure measurements of the melting temperatures of the heavy rare-gas solids (RGS) Ar, Kr, and Xe with new diamond-anvil cell (DAC) methods, together with their pressure-volume relations, for the total rare-gas inventory of the terrestrial planets since formation.
