We have generated separate equations of state (EOS's) for the alpha quartz, coesite, and stishovite phases of polycrystalline quartz (SiO{sub 2}) using the computer program GRIZZLY. We also modified the program GRIZZLY to combine two single-phase EOS's for a given material into a single two-phase EOS via minimization of the Gibbs free energy. This new version of GRIZZLY has been used to generate a three-phase SESAME type EOS for polycrystalline quartz using the three EOS's mentioned above. All four of the EOS's produced for SiO{sub 2} are now available on request. 17 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
