Abstract

Variations in microhardness and impurity composition of surface layers in silicon crystals caused by a magnetic field are observed. It is assumed that the mechanism of slow structural relaxation in silicon crystals is related to an increase in the adsorption function of silicon as a result of the effect of a magnetic field; this mechanism underlies the magnetomechanical effect (the effect of variation in microhardness).
