34. For a 10-2 - 102 Hz frequency domain and a typical attempt time of τ0 ∼ 10-12 - 10-14 s the observable fluctuations necessarily involve transition energies between 7 meV and 0.8 eV for temperatures of 4-300 K (Ref.).

37. For κ- (ET) 2 Cu [N (CN) 2] Br and its deuterated analog there is a kink in the dc resistance at the glasslike-transition temperature Tg. Also, the temperature dependence of the dc resistance below Tg and the actual ground-state properties are strongly affected by the conformational changes (e.g., induced by different cooling rates or annealing procedures) of the ET molecules' ethylene endgroups (Refs.).
