Abstract

With very few exceptions the numerous polymorphs of SiO2 all consist of SiO4 tetrahedra linked through their corners, thus forming three-dimensional framework structures. The topology of the tetrahedral linkage and the efficiency of space filling are different for the polymorphs. For a given type of framework, for example, that of quartz or cristobalite, space filling can be improved by so-called displacive transformations from a more open high-temperature form (e.g., “high”, “h”, or β “quartz”) to a denser form stable at lower temperatures (“low” or “α quartz”). These transformations do not change the topology of the framework, i.e., chemical bonds in a crystal can be deformed, but are not broken and rearranged.
