    That's more of a WE but definitely not a MWE.

    Adding title style={yshift=1.5ex} to your axis options will shift the title up.

  • Thanks for providing the code, but as @percusse commented, you should try to MWE, with emphasis on the M part of the MWE. Please make an attempt to reduce your code to only what is needed to reproduce the problem. Besides the numerous extraneous packages you don't really need to provide that much data.

  • While pgfplots ability to 'divide through' is handy, for a 'proper' presentation of data I would recommend dividing though as part of the axis itself (e.g. '$z/10^5$ with appropriate expression used for the data).

    @Luigi: Maybe instead of changing the /.code key, using something like y tick scale label style={xshift=-1cm} would be more intuitive.

You have several options.

1. Move Title:

As Jake says you can use title style={yshift=1.5ex}, and that certainly is one solution in that the title does get out of the way, but in this case using an x shift is actually better. So using title style={xshift=1.5em} yields:

Combining the two and usinf title style={xshift=1.5em, yshift=-1.5ex} also produces a usable result:

2. Wider Plot:

Another option is that you could just make the plot wider by using width=10cm option:
