Abstract
Surface polaritons (SP) in charged particle irradiated α-quartz and fused quartz have been studied using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) method. It is found that on irradiation SP frequency decreases and linewidth increases. Some evidences point out that on irradiation α-and fused quartz tend to become disordered in a similar way.
