Abstract

Amorphous transition behavior of silica polymorphs under high pressure has been extensively studied by using diamond-anvil cells or shock wave technologies at ambient temperature. Here, we report the amorphization of crystalline silica fiber in cristobalite polymorph in the temperature range of 1050–1350 °C without pressure applied in vacuum. X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra, and Raman spectra illustrated the transition. Raman spectra revealed that no significant changes had happened to the SiO4 unit during the transition. It is suggested that the driven-off of interstitial oxygen attributed to the transition and the reaction between the diffusing hydrogen and interstitial oxygen promoted the process.
