Abstract

A method based in the Tln(t/τ0) scaling is proposed to obtain the energy barrier distribution of a randomly oriented assembly of magnetic entities. It essentially consists on performing the logarithmic time derivative of the master relaxation curve. The method has been applied to two small particle systems and the obtained distributions are in good agreement with the ones used to fit the master curves to the magnetization decay of a system following the Arrhenius law. The effect of the specific shape of the distribution functions on the low temperature behaviour of the relaxation rate and the possibility to erroneously attribute this behaviour to non-thermal processes is also discussed.
