Differential scanning calorimetry of amorphous silicon (a-Si) prepared by ion implantation shows a one-time low-temperature heat release, equal to one-third of the heat of crystallization. This heat release is direct evidence for structural relaxation of a-Si. It is in agreement with predictions made on the basis of Raman spectrometry.
