Abstract
An anisotropic relaxation peak has been observed in the internal friction of crystalline quartz. The height of the loss peak increases by a factor of 2.1 between a sample stressed in the direction and one stressed in a direction—18.5° from the axis. The shape of the observed relaxation peaks can be fitted by a theory of Zener for a relaxation of a preferred distribution of impurities induced by stress, using an activation energy of 24 kcal/mole and a relaxation time of 0.6× sec. The possibility is discussed that this relaxation peak and one observed by Cook and Breckenridge are due to lithium.
