In this contribution we will report about the dynamical features of the flux lines in both optimally-doped ReFeAsO1−xFx and Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 superconductors as investigated by means of ac susceptometry. The features of pinning are derived in the case of ReFeAsO1−xFx powder samples for several Re ions within the framework of the thermally-activated flux-creep model. In the case of the investigated Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 single-crystal, the extremely high-quality and the associated low-degree of quenched disorder in the sample allow us to enlighten the emergence of a thermodynamical phase transition between the different configuration of vortices in the H − T phase diagram. Insights will be provided into the features of this phase transition and into the nature of the glassy phase, being turned into a Bragg-like glass at low values of magnetic field.
