“…For fields H i , x H , , where the electrodynaniic theory fails, a marked increase of the transition times is observed, which is caused by additional therniodynaniic effects. Considering the results by Ittner [8], who calculated these effects for hollow cylinders, where a plane geometry may be used, qualitative agreement with respect to the increase oft, is noted. However, in order to arrive at quantitative results an appropriate modification of the theory using the present cylindrical geometry has to be made [12].…”
