Abstract

We investigated the relationship between the effective flux-creep activation energy U and the current density j (∼M), for both the YBa2Cu3Ox and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox systems. We found that the U-versus-M curves can be best fitted by a power law. More specifically, for a single crystal of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox at a given temperature, a logarithmic relation between U and M is found in the low-temperature region, while a power-law behavior takes place near the irreversibility line. The validity of the apparent activation energy U0 is also discussed.
