Radial distribution functions deduced from energy-filtered electron di
ffraction data have been obtained for vitreous silica, neutron-amorphi
zed quartz, ion-amorphized quartz and electron-amorphized quartz, cris
tobalite and tridymite. Measurable differences in short-range and medi
um-range structure exist among these six forms of metamict silica.
