Figure 8 of this reference shows the set of straight lines of the Co nanoparticle, equivalent to fig. 3a) of the present paper. The slope Δln(t)/ΔH is a decreasing function from 2 K to 6 K. No scaling laws of the type defined in [2] and [9] can be drawn for these data due to the too strong deviation from the Néel-Brown activation law.
