Abstract

We disclose the effects of Lifshitz dynamical exponent zz on the properties of holographic paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition in the background of Lifshitz spacetime. To preserve the conformal invariance in higher dimensions, we consider the Power-Maxwell (PM) electrodynamics as our gauge field. We introduce a massive 22-form coupled to the PM field and perform the numerical shooting method in the probe limit by assuming the PM and the 22-form fields do not back-react on the background geometry. The obtained results indicate that the critical temperature decreases with increasing the strength of the power parameter qq and dynamical exponent zz. Besides, the formation of the magnetic moment in the black hole background is harder in the absence of an external magnetic field. At low temperatures, and in the absence of an external magnetic field, our result show the spontaneous magnetization and the ferromagnetic phase transition. We find that the critical exponent takes the universal value β=1/2\beta= 1/2 regardless of the parameters q,z,dq, z, d, which is in agreement with the mean field theory. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibility satisfies the Curie-Weiss law.
