Abstract

We construct a holographic SU(2) p-wave superconductor model with Weyl corrections. The high derivative (HD) terms do not seem to spoil the generation of the p-wave superconducting phase. We mainly study the properties of AC conductivity, which is absent in holographic SU(2) p-wave superconductor with Weyl corrections. The conductivities in superconducting phase exhibit obvious anisotropic behaviors. Along yy direction, the conductivity σyy\sigma_{yy} is similar to that of holographic s-wave superconductor. The superconducting energy gap exhibits a wide extension. For the conductivity σxx\sigma_{xx} along xx direction, the behaviors of the real part in the normal state are closely similar to that of σyy\sigma_{yy}. However, the anisotropy of the conductivity obviously shows up in the superconducting phase. A Drude-like peak at low frequency emerges in ReσxxRe\sigma_{xx} once the system enters into the superconducting phase, regardless of the behaviors in normal state.
