摘要: Quartz is an insulator with extremely wide band gap in the vacuum ultra-violet. However, under irradiation from high-energy electrons or X-rays, samples of high purity emit a luminescence blue, corresponding to Stokes shift approximately 7 eV. This large has been ascribed self-trapping exciton otherwise perfect lattice owing distortion it induces; authors review evidence for this assignment, and describe electronic-structure calculations which reveal structure distorted configuration also explain various experimentally determined properties centre. The process they postulate novel one as driven primarily by electron component exciton.
