Luminescence properties of SiO₂ in different structural states are compared. Similar comparison is made for GeO₂. Rutile and α-quartz structures as well as glassy state of these materials are considered. Main results are that for α-quartz crystals the luminescence of self-trapped exciton is the gene...
