24. A delayed BEES onset had been reported in earlier, ex situ experiments [see W. J. Kaiser, M. H. Hecht, R. W. Fathauer, L. D. Bell, E. Y. Lee and L. C. Davis, Phys. Rev. B 44, 6546 (1991)]. This result could not be confirmed in our experiments nor in the ones by Schulz et. al (see H. Schulz, Ph.D. thesis, Universität Erlangen, 1994).
