Scientific paper

The modified niccolite structure (Fe2N-type) of SiO2, previously found in diamond anvil experiments at 35 to 40 GPa, was formed in a porous mixture of crystalline alpha-quartz and copper powder at shock pressures estimated at 12 to 27 GPa. It is suggested that quartz can invert during shock compression not only to coesite, stishovite and an amorphous or glass phase of silica, but also to Fe2N-type SiO2, depending upon the shock history.
