We study the vortex dynamics on beta-Bi2Pd single crystals with a superconducting critical temperature of 5.1 K. The upper critical fields and magnetic penetration depth are determined from magnetization measurements. At low temperatures, the self-field critical current density (Jc) is Re. 20 kA/cm2. The vortex pinning energy, extracted from an Anderson-Kim approximation, is between 340 K and 140 K for fields between 100 G and 600 G. Dif-ferential scanning calorimetric measurements show that the crystals start to transform into the alpha-phase at temperatures as low as 60 degrees C. Short annealing at 100 degrees C modifies the pinning landscape increasing Jc mainly at temperatures below 3 K. The angular dependence of Jc from electrical transport experiments shows a broad peak when the magnetic field is parallel to the crystallographic c-axis, indicating the presence of correlated disorder.
