The effect of prolonged annealing treatments at elevated temperatures (900-1700 K) on the a.c. ionic conductivity of Sawyer PQ 'hydrogen swept' quartz has been investigated by impedance spectroscopy measurements. Transient and irreversible effects have been observed during the annealings: specifically, a monotonic enhancement of the conductivity is detected in the 900-1300 K temperature range, while at higher annealing temperatures an opposite effect is evidenced. The experimental results can be interpreted in the frame of a phenomenological model featuring two equilibrium reactions; an indirect role of hydrogen impurity in the ionic transport dynamics is evidenced, also by means of infrared spectroscopy measurements.

Abstract
The effect of prolonged annealing treatments at elevated temperatures (900-1700 K) on the a.c. ionic conductivity of Sawyer PQ 'hydrogen swept' quartz has been investigated by impedance spectroscopy measurements. Transient and irreversible effects have been observed during the annealings: specifically, a monotonic enhancement of the conductivity is detected in the 900-1300 K temperature range, while at higher annealing temperatures an opposite effect is evidenced. The experimental results can be interpreted in the frame of a phenomenological model featuring two equilibrium reactions; an indirect role of hydrogen impurity in the ionic transport dynamics is evidenced, also by means of infrared spectroscopy measurements.
