A4 thorzpower: Think about the meltemps of the NaF ,NaCl and NaBr and NaI salt lattices, Analogously the argonide series in the transition metals Fe,Co and Ni would be expected to show a similar increasing pattern or trend in the viscosities.The larger the average gas lattice particle the higher the viscosity. I would use straight line interpolation as your first approximation. However, the closer values of the atomic radii of Co and Ni may mean that there will be more similar properties in common with CoAr and NiAr than with FeAr lattices.

Abstract
Theoretical calculations have been performed to determine the spectroscopic constant for the ground and selected low-lying electronic states of the transition-metal noble-gas ions Var(+),
FeAr(+),
CoAr(+), CuHe(+), CuAr(+), and CuKr(+). Analogous calculations have been performed for the ground states of the alkali noble-gas ions LiAr(+), LiKr(+), NaAr(+), and KAr(+) and the alkaline-earth noble-gas ion MgAr(+) to contrast the difference in binding energies between the simple and transition-metal noble-gas ions.
The binding energies increase with increasing polarizability of the noble-gas ions, as expected for a charge-[[/iinduced dipole bonding mechanism. It is found that the spectroscopic constants of the X 1Sigma(+) states of the alkali noble-gas ions are well described at the self-consistent field level. In contrast, the binding energies of the transition-metal noble-gas ions are substantially increased by electron correlation..............
