The relaxation of the irreversible magnetic moment m(t) in YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) films was investigated as a function of temperature T and the external magnetic field H along the c axis applied in zero-field cooling conditions, for the determination of vortex creep parameters. The data analysis was performed using the T and current density dependence of the normalized vortex creep activation energy, or by the fit of the m(t) data with the well known interpolation formula in the framework of the general vortex creep equation. It was found that (i) even for specimens with strong static pinning the characteristic pinning energy remains small in the low-T range, where the vortex creep appearing in standard magnetization measurements is elastic, (ii) the observed strong increase of the time scale for creep and the decrease of the creep exponent with increasing H beyond the theoretical predictions can be attributed to the crossover elastic-creep–plastic-creep generated by the macroscopic currents induced in the specimen during magnetization measurements, and (iii) the creep parameters extracted with the interpolation formula are highly affected by the m(t) data registered at short t, which may lead to unphysical creep parameter values.
