Studies of the spectral and spatial characteristics of shock-induced luminescence from x-cut quartz

Abstract: Spatial and spectral studies of shock-induced luminescence from x-cut crystalline quartz as a function of stress level revealed the following information: Crystalline x-cut quartz has a threshold for emission near the dynamic yield point (about 6 GPa); the spatial distribution of the luminescence from x-cut quartz changes from an intersecting linear emission pattern to a uniform emission pattern as the stress level increases from 6 to 8 GPa; spectra from x-cut quartz are band-like rather than blackbody; crysta… Show more

“…Present observations displayed an emission at 500 nm, the difference in data may be due to the higher wavelength resolution of this study. The source of this nonthermal radiation is unclear and may be related to photoluminescence or cathodoluminescence [Brannon et al, 1983b]. Since no nonthermal component was observed from fused quartz, the 500-nm crystalline quartz emission may be related to breaking of long-range crystalline order or the inherent piezoelectricity of quartz.…”

“…The spectra are consistent with both a blackbody spectrum from the bulk sample, and a greybody spectrum due to localized hot zones; at high pressures, only the blackbody spectrum is observed. Fast-framing camera images of quartz during shock show strong luminescence from hot shear planes (Brannon et al 1983(Brannon et al , 1984 in quartz above the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL); these were later identified with microfault zones (Gratz et al 1988 a).…”

“…/j.jmps.2007 deformation at the scale of material features such as individual grains or particles, which can occur over 10 À7 -10 À2 m. For most metals and ceramics, the mesoscale is identified with the grain size, typically on the order of 10 À6 -10 À4 m. The microstructure has been experimentally observed to affect shock wave propagation and material failure in various solids in a number of instances (cf. Asay and Barker, 1974;Asay and Chhabildas, 2003;Brannon et al, 1983;Mescheryakov, 2003). Even so, the mesoscale remains difficult to probe experimentally in shock experiments due to the short time scales involved for stress waves to traverse individual grains.…”
