Abstract: Magnetic relaxation measurements on a series ofY${1-x}$Pr${x}$Ba${2}$Cu${3}$O${7-\delta}$ $x = 0.13, 0.34, 0.47$ singlecrystals were performed over a large field and temperature range in order toinvestigate the characteristics of the vortex matter across the secondmagnetization peak SMP. The magnitude of the SMP varies non-monotonicallywith the Pr concentration; i.e., the irreversible magnetization normalized byits value at the onset field $H {on}$ displays a maximum for the $x = 0.34$single crystal. The two characteristic fields, $H {on}$ and $H {sp}$, followdifferent temperature $T$ dependences: $H {on} \propto T^{ u {on}}$ and$H {sp} \propto 1-T-T {c}^{2}^{ u {sp}}$. The extracted values of theapparent activation energy $U^\ast$ and the creep exponent $\mu$ display amaximum at a field $H {on} < H^\ast < H {sp}$. Their field dependences pointtoward the coexistence of both elastic and plastic creep for $H > H {on}$. Thedegree of participation of each creep mechanism is determined by the chargecarrier density, which controls both the elastic properties of the vortexmatter and the pinning potential.
