A distinct ESR (electron spin resonance) signal was found to overlap the E-1' centre signal in natural quartz irradiated by gamma-rays. Its g-value is identical to the signal of the E-1' centre and its intensity begins to saturate below a microwave power of 0.4 mW, as does that of the E-1' centre. The shape of this signal shows one peak, whereas the ''real'' E-1' centre signal is almost axial, having two peaks. The overlapping signal was found to be very unstable and its half life was estimated to be 28 years at 15 degrees C (mean life of 40 years). We named it the ''counterfeit E-1' signal''. We show the necessity of examining the signal shape and the thermal stability of the supposed E-1' signal observed in natural quartz irradiated by gamma-rays. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
