James,
The narrow gradient is necessary but IMHO it is the passage thru this
gradient that is asymetrical to the reaction and provides the opportunity for
anomalous heat such that room temp examples like Arrata with Pd were very small
because the transitions were very slow / slow cooling while heated Ni powder
with heat sinking allows the transition to be repeated much more rapidly -
harvesting the hot spots while actively removing the average heat at a rate to
keep inside the narrow gradient.

Exceeding?
So its not critical to be _at_ a narrow temperature range?
