Under high pressures helium can form compounds with various other elements. Helium-nitrogen clathrate (He(N 2) 11) crystals have been grown at room temperature at pressures ca. 10 GPa in a diamond anvil cell. [130] The insulating electride Na 2 He has been shown to be thermodynamically stable at pressures above 113 GPa. It has a fluorite ...
