Results are reported of an experimental search for the unique, rapidly varying temporal pattern of solar axions coherently converting into photons via the Primakoff effect in a single crystal germanium detector when axions are incident at a Bragg angle with a crystalline plane. The analysis of 1.94 kg yr of data from the 1 kg DEMOS detector in Sierra Grande, Argentina, yields a new laboratory bound by an axion-photon coupling of g_a\ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ<2.7\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi10^\ensuremath-9GeV^\ensuremath-1, independent of axion mass up to \ensuremath∼1keV.
