Luminescence from quartz is commonly used in retrospective dosimetry, in particular for the
dating of archaeological materials and sediments from the Quaternary period. The …

A comprehensive review (ca. 230 references) is presented of the present (1983) state of
knowledge of paramagnetic defects in crystalline quartz, as derived from electron …

Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the irradiation-
sensitive defect structure of ultrapure synthetic quartz at 295 and 80 K. CL emissions are …

The ability of insect colonies to adjust the division of labor among workers in response to
changing environmental and colony conditions, coupled with research showing genetic …

Electron-spin resonance (ESR) is used to investigate the formation and thermal anneal
characteristics of E 1′ centers in high-quality synthetic quartz. These centers are produced …

Using classical and ab initio calculations we demonstrate that extra electrons can be
trapped in pure crystalline and amorphous SiO 2 (a-SiO 2) in deep band gap states. The …

The most prominent paramagnetic impurity center in single crystal alpha-quartz X-irradiated
at room temperature is [AlO4] 0, which contains an aluminum ion substituted for a silicon ion …

Electron spin resonance (ESR) and infrared absorption (IR) experiments have provided
information about the role of aluminum in the radiation response of commercially available …

Spectrally resolved thermostimulated-luminescence (TSL) measurements have been carried
out on samples of synthetic quartz, submitted to different treatments in order to change the …

The x‐ray‐induced ''blue''emission from commercially available, high‐quality synthetic
quartz has been studied between 80 and 300 K. Three overlapping bands, each having a …
