The scaling behavior of the effective activation energy of high-quality epitaxial c-oriented Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca ( Cu 1-x Co x)2 O d thin films with 0≤x ≤0.025 has been studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field. For all samples, the effective activation energy scales as U(T, μoH)=Uo(1-T/T c )mHn with exponent m=1.25±0.03, n=-1/2 and the field scaling 1/μoH and -UμoH for thick films and ultra thin films, respectively. The results are discussed taking into account of the influence of the Co substitution with a model in which U(T, H) arises from plastic deformations of the viscous flux liquid above the vortex-glass transition temperature.

The scaling behavior of the effective activation energy U(T,H) of epitaxial c-axis oriented Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca ( Cu 1-x Fe x)2 O 8+d thin films with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.02 has been studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field. It has been found that the activation energy scales as U(H,T) = U0(1 - t)mHn with exponent m = 1.15 ± 0.03 and n = -1/2. The field and temperature dependence of the activation energy, as well as its overall magnitude is consistent with a model in which U(T,H) arises from plastic deformations of viscous flux liquid above the vortex-glass transition temperature.

Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to study the α-relaxation (glass transition) in virgin polystyrene (PS), PS-clay nanocomposite, amorphous indomethacin (IM), maltitol (Mt) and glucose (Gl). Variation of the effective activation energy (E) throughout the glass transition has been determined by applying an advanced isoconversional method to DSC data on the glass transition. The relaxations have been characterized by determining the effective activation energies (E) and evaluating the sizes of cooperatively rearranging regions at the glass transition (Vg). The values of Vg have been determined from the heat capacity data. The α-relaxation demonstrates markedly larger values of E (~340 vs ~270 kJ mol-1) for the PS-clay system than for virgin PS. For IM in the glass transition region, the effective activation energy of relaxation decreases with increasing temperature from 320 to 160 kJ mol-1. In the Tg region E decreases (from~250 to ~150 kJ mol-1 in maltitol and from~220 to ~170 kJ mol-1 in glucose) with increasing T as typically found for the α-relaxation. It has been found that in the sub-Tg region E decreases with decreasing T reaching the values ~60 (glucose) and ~70 (maltitol) kJ -1 that are comparable to the literature values of the activation energies for the β-relaxation. Heat capacity measurements have allowed for the evaluation of the cooperatively rearranging region in terms of the linear size The PS-clay system has also been found to have a significantly larger value of Vg, 36.7 nm3 as compared to 20.9 nm3 for PS. Heat capacity measurements of IM have allowed for the evaluation of the cooperatively rearranging region (CRR) in term of linear size (3.4 nm) and the number of molecules (90). The size of CRR have been determined as 3.1 (maltitol) and 3.3 (glucose) nm.

The values of effective activation energy (Q) and pre-exponential factor (D0) reported in the literature for diffusion in the novel bulk metallic glasses, both in the glassy and the deeply supercooled liquid regions, are found to follow the same correlation as reported earlier in conventional metallic glasses, namely D0 = A exp(Q/B), where A and B are fitting parameters with values A = 4.8 × 10−19 m2 s−1 and B = 0.056 eV atom−1. A possible explanation for the observed values of A and B is given by combining an activation energy and a free volume term. The interpretation favors a cooperative mechanism for diffusion in the glassy and deeply supercooled liquid states.

The resistive properties and activation energy of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-ρ ( YBCO ) superconducting materials change in magnetic field. It is explained that magnetoresistive behavior in terms of the presence of two-dimensional vortices being pinned effectively when they are perpendicular to the CuO 2 planes and an exponential behavior of the activation energy versus the applied field was obtained. The resulting activation energies ranging from 1 to 5 Tesla were attributed to inter-granular flux creep process.
