The complete dynamic epitaxy of α-quartz during barium ion implantation is discussed. The nonimplanted sample is characterized by a very weak and broad peak at 2 electron volt in the red region. The Barium can be incorporated via dynamic SPEG in single-crystalline α-quartz hardly affecting the crystalline structure. The results show that the visible and ultraviolet peaks occurs at 2.42, 2.79, 3.4 and 4.2 electron volt respectively.
