24. From the central peak that consists almost equally of the contribution from superconducting and nonsuperconducting compositions, Kobayashi have reported a shift change of 0.04±0.01% between T=3 K and 1.5 K (Ref.), which is less than one quarter (1 4) the value we found. Note that such shift change of 0.04±0.01% is comparable to the estimated Kdia.
25. In fact, very recently Ihara [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. JUPSAU 0031-9015 10.1143/JPSJ.75.013708 75, 013708 (2006)] claimed that Kcs does not decrease beyond such Kdia.
