These symptoms, which are also observed in neurasthenia (enervation), were not to be traced back to the thermal effects, but rather to the athermal effects of high-frequencyelectromagnetic radiation, according to Schliephake’s view.

(ii) in the high density case, the usual mechanisms of athermal hardening (by an evolving forest) operate effectively, dislocation storage occurs and, most importantly, the dislocation structure is found to evolve so as to lead to a build-up of polar or GND density in local domains (that can be thought of as being statistically homogeneous).
