The article explores the mechanism of luminescence generation during the processes of destruction and friction of quartz crystals, providing insights into the physical phenomena underlying this behavior. The proposed model is founded on the concept of the surface layer of a solid acting as a capacitor. This surface capacitor is characterized as an open quantum nanostructure, capable of accumulating charge through the energy derived from the deformation of quartz crystals. When subjected to destruction or friction, the mechanical energy of deformation is converted into various energy forms, one of which manifests as luminescence. The study highlights the transformation pathways of deformation energy and provides a theoretical framework to explain the luminescent emissions observed under these conditions. By integrating principles of quantum mechanics and material deformation, the model advances our understanding of the interplay between mechanical stresses and light emission in quartz, offering potential applications in material science and geophysical monitoring.
