摘要：

In this work, the crystallographic phase, degree of crystallinity, crystal system, space group and unit cell parameters of quartz in the Ouargla region (Algeria) sand dunes have been determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mid-infrared absorption spectrum showed the characteristic doublet for alpha-quartz at 796 and 779 cm(-1). The observed principle diffractions at the d-spacings of 3.7937, 3.3539 and 1.8204 A confirm the presence of alpha-quartz in Ouargla sand. The calculated absorption ratio (degree of crystallinity) of A(796)/A(779) congruent to 1.756 indicated that our quartz exhibits a highly crystalline nature. The crystallographic parameters of quartz in Ouargla sand have been determined through analysis of X-ray diffraction data, carried out using the simulation code DICVOL06. These parameters were found as: hexagonal crystal system, space group P3(2)21 (154), unit cell parameters: a = b = 4.9294 angstrom, c = 5.4093 angstrom and V = 113.832 angstrom(3).
