The magnetic Aux dynamics in Nh films with periodic hole arrays is studied
magneto-optically. Flux motion in the shape of microavalanches along {100}
and {110} directions of the hole lattice is observed. At lower temperatures
anisotropic large scale thermo-magnetic avalanches dominate flux entry and
exit. At T similar to T-C critical-state-like field patterns periodically
appear at fractions of the matching field.
