Abstract

The p-wave and p+ipp+ip-wave holographic superconductors with fixed DC supercurrent are studied by introducing a non-vanishing vector potential. We find that close to the critical temperature TcT_c of zero current, the numerical results of both the p wave model and the p+ipp+ip model are the same as those of Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) theory, for example, the critical current jc(TcT)3/2j_c \sim (T_c-T)^{3/2} and the phase transition in the presence of a DC current is a first order transition. Besides the similar results between both models, the p+ipp+ip superconductor shows isotropic behavior for the supercurrent, while the p-wave superconductor shows anisotropic behavior for the supercurrent.
