Temperature dependence of the distribution of the thermally activated energy barriers in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 film

The effects of frequency and ac amplitude on ac susceptibility have been measured for a thin Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 film in the range 100 Hz-100 kHz in magnetic field 0.52 T. A phenomenological equation with an asymmetrical distribution of thermally activated energy barriers has been used to analyse these frequency and amplitude dependences of the ac susceptibility (,hac) in the vicinity of the peak temperature of ´´. We obtain the effective energy barrier U against amplitude hac (current density j): U hac-0.38. This U(j) relationship shows that the flux lines are in the 3D collective creep regime. Therefore, we conclude that the effective energy barrier is in fact an average of the barrier's distribution, and the distribution function is a distinguished asymmetrical one in this 3D collective creep regime.
