30. Strictly speaking, the determination of the coercivity actually requires an analysis of the nonlinear regime, which is lacking at this point. Landeros (Ref.) demonstrated that the coherent mode is present only in very short tubes, and that if there is no switching mode other than V and T, results for the nucleation field corresponds to the coercivity.
