We have used density-functional theory and the nudged elastic-band method to calculate migration pathways and estimated the activation energy for the diffusion of oxygen vacancies in a-quartz. While the energy barrier for the diffusion of a neutral vacancy is very high, 4.1 eV, the binding of a triplet-state exciton to the vacancy lowers the barrier to 1.7 eV and the attachment of a hole lowers the barrier to 1.9 eV, making the vacancy mobile at commonly used annealing temperatures.
