Theoretical models have been proposed, stimulated by a successful account of the jovian decametric radiation1, for a maser mechanism, or a normal relativistic cyclotron resonance mechanism, operating in solar flares, and for transport of energy across magnetic fields to the electron gas by maser-amplified radio waves2. Much effort has been directed towards observations of solar-flare radio spike bursts3–8. Here we compare solar narrow-band decimetre-wave spike bursts with corresponding X-ray events for 25 solar flares. We find that decimetre spike bursts are 102–103times stronger than normal impulsive microwave bursts for the same observed amount of hard X-ray emission. This feature, along with the observation of 100% circular polarization, strongly supports a maser origin for the decimetre spike bursts.
