Holographic superconductor on a novel insulator

Abstract: We construct a holographic superconductor model, based on a gravity theory, which exhibits novel metal-insulator transitions. We investigate the condition for the condensation of the scalar field over the parameter space, and then focus on the superconductivity over the insulating phase with a hard gap, which is supposed to be Mott-like. It turns out that the formation of the hard gap in the insulating phase benefits the superconductivity. This phenomenon is analogous to the fact that the pseudogap phase can p… Show more

“…We can estimate the critical temperature for the formation of the superconducting phase by finding static normalizable modes of the scalar field ψ in the above background (3). The procedure has been used in [42][43][44][45]. This problem can be casted into a positive self-adjoint eigenvalue problem for q 2 and so we write the equation of motion for the scalar field as the following form:…”

“…The twocurrent coupling model has been discussed in several articles, as seen in Refs. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In these models, one gauge field is considered the true Maxwell field, while the other serves as an auxiliary field.…”

“…These are particularly important on the light of the conjectured duality between conformal quantum field theories on flat backgrounds and classical and quantum gravity in an anti-de Sitter space time, known under the name of AdS/CFT correspondence, [7][8][9]. It has numerous applications to QCD, condensed matter physics, hydrodynamics, superconductivity and in several cases goes beyond conformal field theories, [10][11][12][13][14][16][17][18].…”
