Recent work by the authors has been extended to demonstrate the formation of solid krypton in single-crystal magnesium oxide. The solid inclusions, which were formed by ion implantation at room temperature, have been identified by electron diffraction. The formation of solid noble gas inclusions at room temperature indicates that they were under a high pressure. This pressure was determined, based on the measured lattice parameter, to be 1.7 GPa.
