Gauss-Bonnet holographic superconductors with magnetic field

General Physics 2011-12-13 v3

Abstract

We study the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) holographic superconductors in the presence of an external magnetic field. We describe the phenomena away from the probe limit. We derive the critical magnetic field of the GB holographic superconductors with backreaction. Our analytical approach matches the numerical calculations. We calculate the backreaction corrections up to first order of O(κ2=8πG)O(\kappa^2=8\pi G) to the critical temperature TCT_C and the critical magnetic field BCB_C for a GB superconductor. We show that the GB coupling α\alpha makes the condensation weaker but the backreaction corrections O(κ2)O(\kappa^2) make the critical magnetic field stronger.
