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.
