A dose of 2 x 10/sup 20/ fast neutrons cm/sup -2/ transforms crystalline quartz and vitreous silica lnto the same isotropic substance. Measurements on density, thermal expansion, internal energy, and elastic and piezoelectric constants were used to follow this transformation. Before reaching the isotropic state, the irradiated quartz crystals assume the symmetry characteristics of beta -quartz. On reheating, and according to the neutron dose received, these crystals can be transformed either into vitreous silica or again into natural quartz or into another structure which is described.
