"Always wondered what virtue Krypton fill offers. Perhaps this is it!"
When I was measuring the optical constants of REM (e.g. gadolinium) I
used a bath of H2 as a thermal contacting fluid to ensure the prism was
at the temp of the heat sink. Conversely lamps use Kr for the opposite
reason. Somewhere I found the functional relationship of K (thermal
conductivity) mass, gamma etc. -- never mind here's the K's at 100 deg C
(I presume ~ one Bar) WRT air:
Xe 0.2
Ar 0.7
Ne 1.8
H2 6.9!
He 5.6
and Kr: 0.12!!
