15. The waiting time for a thermally activated jump accross a barrier of height (formula presented) is usually taken as (formula presented) where (formula presented) is an attempt time, typically of the order of (formula presented) Therefore, (formula presented) Assuming that, at a field H, the barrier is overcome at the typical measurement time (formula presented) we have (formula presented) See for instance, H. Zeng, J. Magn. Magn. Mater.251, 283 (2002).
