The study of the introduction of a regular arrangement of defects in type II superconducting thinfilmshasbeenactivelydevelopedfromatheoreticalandexperimentalpointofview,ononeside due to the richness of static and dynamic behaviors that it presents and, second, by understanding themechanismstostabilizeandanchorthenetworkofvorticesagainstexternaldrivingforces. One ofthemostremarkablephenomenaofthesesystemsiscalledmatching effectwhichoccurswhenthe number of vortices is a multiple integer of the number of pinning centers, with peaks observed in the cr´ıtical current (static response) or the attenuation of the vortices mobility (dynamic response) values in field where this condition is satisfied. These measurable fields, the vortices can form a highly ordered network where the vortex-vortex interactions that reduce the effective anchoring are minimized. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed the settings of the vortices and the effects of artificial pinning at the dynamics of vortices in a type II superconducting thin film with a periodic distribution of pinning centers. The dynamics of vortices and their structural configurations were simulated using the Langevin dynamics algorithm. hm. The interactions between vortices were modeled using London’s approach with periodic boundary conditions. In the early part of the study, we calculated the balance settings for the vortex network, finding results similar to those studied in previous works. In fact, we observed in our simulations that the number of saturation of the anchoring centers, i.e. the maximum number of vortices trapped by each center, is a function of the external field. This result had already been predicted in calculations performed within the Ginzburg-Landau formalism. Here, we show that the same effect can be reproduced at the London scheme. In the second part of the study, we analyzed the dynamics when an external force is applied in the longitudinal direction relative to the symmetry of the network of traps. We show that this system displays dynamic commensurability effects when the settings of the vortices coincide with the periodicity of the arrangement, through the magnetoresistance curves that have a number of features in the different fields of matching. Certain field values, it falls in tension are absent due to the particular configuration of vortices and the interaction between interstitial vortices with the vortices occupying the pinning centers. This study shows that the types of measurability found in this dynamic problem are generally different from those found in the static problem. Therefore, the usual practice in the literature to infer the static settings of vortices from magnetoresistance measures should be reviewed.
