Abstract: A system of vortices in a quasi-two-dimensional HTSC plate with periodic pinning is considered. The magnetization curves are calculated by the Monte Carlo method for different values of an external magnetic field and different temperatures. It is shown that the vortex system with periodic pinning may crystallize with an increase in temperature.
