TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for the development of water bubbles in synthetic quartz has been proposed based on measurements of the intensity of light scattered and the increase in volume of the crystal, both as a function of temperature and time.

TL;DR: Quarz et al. as mentioned in this paper used transmission electron microscopy to study the dislocations associated with the plastic deformation and recovery of single crystals of synthetic quartz and found that the rate of this recovery is strongly dependent upon the concentration of hydrogen present due to the influence of this impurity on dislocation climb.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dislocations are arranged in arrays forming low-angle sub-boundaries which have been identified with features observed in the optical microscope, and a comparison of this dislocation substructure with that observed in olivine and in metals, experimentally deformed under various conditions, suggests that the deformation in nature has occurred by creep.

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystals of experimentally deformed synthetic quartz showing optical deformation lamellae were examined by transmission electron microscopy and the nature and formation of the optical image was discussed in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, optical and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the microstructures in a series of plagioclase feldspars which had been experimentally deformed in compression.
