The ESR-induced changes in the dc resistance, ..delta..rho/rhovertical-bar/sub ESR/, of P-ion-implanted silicon have been observed for the first time. The transfer of absorbed Zeeman energy at liquid-He temperature has been investigated. The ..delta..rho/rhovertical-bar/sub ESR/ signals observed were a narrow line with a g value of 1.9988 for light-dose implantation and a new broad line with a little larger g value for heavy-dose implantation. The line shape of these ..delta..rho/rhovertical-bar/sub ESR/ signals was Lorentzian as well as the ESR signal, but the linewidth ..delta..H/sub 1/2/ of the broad ..delta..rho/rhovertical-bar/sub ESR/ signal was about 10 times as broad as the ESR linewidth. It is suggested that the anomalously broad line of ..delta..rho/rhovertical-bar/sub ESR/ originates from the transfer of the Zeeman energy absorbed by the localized donor electrons at the tail regions with low donor concentration (5 x 10/sup 17/ or approx. =2 x 10/sup 19/ P/cm/sup 3/) which act as Zeeman energy absorbers.
