Comparison of structural variables for hypothetical α-quartz structures containing regular SiO4 tetrahedra with the experimental structures of Antao (2016) at temperatures between 566 and 844 K. (a) tilt angle ϕ and tetrahedral volume Vtetra; (b) mean Si—O distance and Si-framework Δ-parameter; (c) Si-framework L-parameter. |
