Abstract

The results of measurements of critical currents and magnetic relaxation on a Bi2 Sr2 Ca1 Cu2O8+x single crystal are reported. Activation energies for the flux motion have been determined from the temperature dependence of the critical current density and the time decay of the zero‐field‐cooled and the remanent magnetization. The effective activation energy increases with temperature, in agreement with the existence of a distribution of activation energies.
