Sumario:We present a computer-simulation study of the effect of the distribution of energy barriers in an anisotropic magnetic system on the relaxation behavior of the magnetization. While the relaxation law for the magnetization can be approximated in all cases by a time logarithmic decay, the law for the dependence of the magnetic viscosity with temperature is found to be quite sensitive to the shape of the distribution of barriers. The low-temperature region for the magnetic viscosity never extrapolates to a positive no-null value. Moreover our computer simulation results agree reasonably well with some recent relaxation experiments on highly anisotropic single-domain particles.
