Abstract
We used a log-normal distribution of activation energies to model the alternating susceptibility of a superparamagnet without interactions. Scaling relationships facilitating the calculation of measurable quantities without knowing the interdependence of particle volume, moment and anisotropy energy were found. A peaked temperature - dependent susceptibility and log - ω frequency response were obtained.
