21. The energy (Formula presented) is mostly dissipated into the phonon spectrum, and only occasionally leads to the structural changes employed in the present model. A similar assumption forms the basis of the model for the Staebler-Wronski effect proposed in M. Stutzmann, W. B. Jackson and C. C. Tsai, Appl. Phys. Lett. 45, 1075 (1984).
