Universal elastic-hardening-driven mechanical instability in α-quartz and quartz homeotypes under pressure
As a fundamental property of pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) in ice and ice-like materials (notably α-quartz), the occurrence of mechanical instability can be related to violation of Born criteria for elasticity. The most outstanding elastic feature of α-quartz before PIA has been experimentally reported to be the linear softening of shear modulus C44, which was proposed to trigger the tra...
متن کاملHigh-pressure elasticity of alpha-quartz: instability and ferroelastic transition
The single-crystal elastic moduli of alpha-quartz were measured to above 20 GPa in a diamond-anvil cell by Brillouin spectroscopy. The behavior of the elastic moduli indicates that the high-pressure phase transition in quartz is ferroelastic in nature and is driven by softening of C44 through one of the Born stability criteria. The trends in elastic moduli confirm theoretical predictions, but t...
متن کاملElastic constants of natural quartz.
The elastic constants of a natural-quartz sphere using resonance-ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) are measured. The measurements of the near-traction-free vibrational frequencies of the sphere are matched with the predicted frequencies from the dynamic theory of elasticity, with optimized estimates for the elastic constants driving the differences between these sets of frequencies to a minimal val...
متن کاملUncoated quartz resonator as a universal biosensor.
We studied dynamic processes in drying drops of model protein-salt solutions, using an uncoated quartz resonator as a biosensor. To measure these processes we developed a method based on recording the dynamics of the Acoustic-Mechanical Impedance (AMI) of a drop as it dried on the surface of a quartz resonator oscillating at a resonant frequency of 60 kHz. The aim of this work was to highlight ...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic phonon spectroscopy of α-quartz
We demonstrate mid-infrared second-harmonic generation as a highly sensitive phonon spectroscopy technique that we exemplify using α-quartz (SiO2) as a model system. A mid-infrared free-electron laser provides direct access to optical phonon resonances ranging from 350 cm−1 to 1400 cm−1. While the extremely wide tunability and high peak fields of an free-electron laser promote nonlinear spectro...
