I hate it when the line feeds get lost and the message becomes
unintelligible. I'm sorry.
You don't need to move anything. Just allocate more room for what you have
already. Try this:
rm(list=ls())
D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100)
y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5)
pdf("my.pdf")
###################
par(mar = c(4.5, 4.5, 1, 1) + 0.1)
###################
plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black",
ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))),
xlab = expression(paste(D[agg]," [nm]")),
cex.lab=1.2
)
axis(2, mgp=c(0, 0.2, -2))
dev.off()

Subject: [R] Relocating Axis Label/Title --2
Apologies for the previous mail (I sent it off too early by mistake).
This is the correct example:
rm(list=ls())
D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100)
y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5)
pdf("my.pdf")
plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black",
ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))),
xlab = expression(paste(D[agg]," [nm]")),
cex.lab=1.2
)
axis(2, mgp=c(0, 0.2, -2))
dev.off()
With mgp() I can tune the distance between the ticks and the tick
labels, but how can I move the axis label? I would like to move the
one along y to visualize correctly the exponent "3".
Kind Regards
Lorenzo
