Abstract Magnetic relaxation, with magnetic fields applied parallel to the c axis, was measured in a high-quality melt-textured YBa2Cu3Ox bar. Zero-field-cooled magnetization-versus-time data were obtained within a regime of field and temperatures dominated by single vortex pinning. The activation pinning energy U = U M was calculated from experimental data and compared to U = U 0 ln(J c /J), where U, is a constant, J c is the critical current density, and J the current density. This expression for U obtains within the individual pinning regime. A logarithmic dependence of U M on J was found, and the data indicated that a scaling function of U M , g(T/T c ) = (1−T/T c )1/2, was appropriate for describing the single-vortex pinning regime.
