18. We verified that the reversibility of the measured frequencies as a function of temperature was lost if the annealing was performed up to temperatures larger than 80-90 °C, because of the non-perfect sealing of our optical cryostat. For such a reason we limited our investigation to temperatures not exceeding 60 °C.
