Abstract  We present data of multiharmonic magneto-dynamic experiments. In particular, we performed ac magnetic susceptibility experiments on layered pnictide-oxide quaternary compound NdOFeAs doped with fluorine. The experiments allow one to measure the critical temperature and probe the flux dynamic behavior using the third harmonic component of the ac susceptibility of an NdF0.16FeAsO0.84 bulk sample as a function of temperature and frequency of the applied ac magnetic fields. Measured signals are connected with the nonlinear superconducting flux dynamic behavior and are characterized by a “flux critical states” sustaining a superconducting critical current. In this framework the irreversibility line that describes the stable superconducting state has been extracted from the onset of the third harmonic signal vs. frequency. Finally we present also the analysis of the flux dynamic dimensionality in the investigated sample.
