Abstract
There now exists a large amount of data on the dislocation substructures in synthetic quartz as observed by TEM, and although a great deal of useful information on the mechanisms of deformation and dislocation dynamics has been obtained (for instance Morrison-Smith, 1974; Morrison-Smith et al., 1975; Morrison-Smith and Boland, 1975; Hobbs et al., 1972), no real attempt has been made to describe the details of the stress-strain curve in terms of dislocation behavior. This has been precluded by the problem of inhomogeneous deformation in these synthetic crystals. The relationship between the (OH) distribution and the distribution of optical deformation features has been realized for some time (e.g. Blacic, 1971) while the marked effects of variations in (OH) content on the mechanical behavior of specimens is now firmly established (Morrison-Smith et al., 1975). This paper attempts to analyze the available data in such a way that a reasonable description of the ideal, homogeneous stress-strain curve in terms of dislocation structures can be obtained.
