摘要: Within a thermally activated flux-motion model we derive an exact inversion scheme which makes it possible to calculate the distribution m(${\mathrm{E}}^{\mathrm{*}}$) of activation energies ${\mathrm{E}}^{\mathrm{*}}$ for flux motion from experimental magnetic relaxation data M(t,T). The distributions determined polycrystalline and single-crystalline ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{7\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\delta}}}$ strongly resemble log-normal function. results show that within this existing imply structural disorder is present in both ceramic samples.
