The observation of reversible elastic dauphiné twinning in α-quartz

Abstract
Under uniaxial load applied in the direction of the polar X 1-axis Dauphiné twins are formed in α-quartz. By measuring the net polarization charge of the stressed crystal as well as by direct visualization of the twins it was observed that these twins have a pronounced tendency to disappear on removal of the load
