Abstract
Results on the kind and distribution of structural defects in quartz (SiO 2) and periclase (MgO) after mechanical treatment have been presented. Zero-, one-, two- and three-dimensional defects are generated. Mainly surface near regions are distorted, where interactions of the induced defects with the atmosphere are possible. The mechanical energy causes a stronger structural distortion in quartz than in periclase, but the depth of penetration of the distortions is larger in the latter compound. The distribution of the defects depends mainly on the mechanism of treatment; kind, concentration and penetration depth depend on the material-specific features of the substances.
