Summary:IR spectroscopy has been used to study the effect of reactor radiation on the structural state of different specimens of synthetic quartz crystals. The patterns have been established for modification of the spectral characteristics of the bending vibrations of the crystal lattice as a function of the orientation of the crystals and the fast neutron fluence. It is hypothesized that the identified features of radiation-induced modification of the parameters of the bending modes for the different quartz specimens are due mainly to structural rearrangement occurring in the crystals.
