Abstract
The color center at 275 mμ produced by x-irradiation in three specimens, two of Bell and one of Clevite synthetic quartz, depends on the presence of germanium impurity. It is absent in specimens free of germanium. The center is anisotropic with maximum absorption in the σ direction (electric vector perpendicular to the c axis). In the π direction (electric vector parallel to the c axis) the absorption is poorly resolved into two bands. The color center absorption is caused by an electric dipole transition. This center bleaches more rapidly than other color centers present in the specimens. This color center system is accompanied by the aluminum system which is in the 460 mμ region and by two other bands at 1900 and 2050 A. No relationships have been observed among these bands other than that they are found together in the three instances studied and the intensity increases with the energy of the given band. A question of a model for this center is discussed.
