The plots are correct; you simply do not have enough dynamic range of the variables from minimum to maximum values that the logarithmic nature of the axes is easily apparent.
The log axis could be observed by setting for Figure 1
ylim([1E-10 1E-9])
Of course, the data then will look essentially like a line with a very shallow negative slope at about 3.4E-10, but you'll be able to see the axis tick marks are logarithmically distributed.
