Abstract

The defect microstructure of electron-irradiated α-quartz was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Formation of heterogeneously-nucleated disordered strain centers and a homogeneous crystalline → amorphous transformation of the surrounding matrix were observed. Both features are shown to be attributable to radiolysis, a mechanism for which is proposed
