Low temperature β internal friction peak evolution upon thermal cycles shows two peculiar peaks similar to high temperature internal friction peak. The modulus softening associated to these peaks suggest a phase transformation phenomenon and the relaxation time τo in order of 10-23–10-35s, close to that observed in grains boundary sliding are due to interface motions in the amorphous structure under combined thermal and mechanical energies.
