Abstract
Brillouin scattering from a-SiO2 up to 17 GPa shows that an irreversible change in the longitudinal sound velocity takes place between 10 and 17 GPa and that this change is stable at atmospheric pressure. Raman spectra of the retrieved sample indicate that it is also amorphous but differ noticeably from that of the original sample.
