#### Abstract

The compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2–13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: $V_0$ V 0 = 38.0 Å $^3$ 3 /at, $K_0$ K 0 = 2.65 GPa, $K'_0$ K 0 ′ = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P – V points mostly at moderate pressure ( $\le$ ≤ 20 GPa).
