Abstract
Magnetotransport properties have been used to investigate vortex phases in Nb films with periodic arrays of magnetic pinning centers. This kind of samples show a continuous glass transition similar to that observed in Nb plain films, but the periodic pinning yields different critical exponents and enhanced glass transition temperature at the matching field.
