Abstract
Paramagnetic resonance studies of SiO2:Ge crystals X-irradiated in a microwave cavity at 4K show a dominant hole centre stable below 35K. It is suggested that the hole is stabilised in an oxygen 2p orbital by a nearby germanium atom and that germanium is an amphoteric impurity in quartz. The relevance of the measurements to the mobility of hole polarons in crystalline quartz is discussed.
