We predict that superconducting particles will show an apparent increase in thickness at low temperatures when measured by electron holography. This will result not from a real thickness increase, rather from an increase in the mean inner…
We construct the holographic superconductors away from the probe limit in the consistent $D\rightarrow4$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We observe that, both for the ground state and excited states, the critical temperature first decreases…

We derive a method to study the phase diagram for high temperature superconductors (HTCS). Our starting point is the Hubbard Hamiltonian with a weak attractive interaction to obtain the formation of bound pairs. We consider this attractive…
Deterministic enhancement of the superconducting (SC) critical temperature $T_c$ is a long-standing goal in material science. One strategy is engineering a material at the nanometer scale such that quantum confinement strengthens the…
Holographic superconductors have been studied so far in the absence of dynamical electromagnetic fields, namely in the limit in which they coincide with holographic superfluids. It is possible, however, to introduce dynamical gauge fields…

Using a microscopic approach, we revisit the problem of superconducting critical temperature change in the presence of twin boundaries. We show that both critical temperature enhancement and suppression can come purely from geometric…
Effect of geometry on the superconductivity is considered. It is shown that the for nearly two dimensional BCS systems the critical temperature is rapidly increased with decreasing the thickness of the layer. The result is expected to be…
To achieve room-temperature superconductivity, a mechanism is needed that provides heavy quasiparticles at room temperature. In heavy fermion systems such localization is prototypically present only at liquid helium temperatures. In these…
We construct a family of minimal phenomenological models for holographic superconductors in d=4+1 AdS spacetime and study the effect of scalar and gauge field fluctuations. By making a Ginzburg-Landau interpretation of the dual field…
An alternative method of developing the theory of non-equilibrium two dimensional holographic superconductor is to start from the definition of a time dependent $AdS_3$ background. As originally proposed, many of these formulae were cast in…
The critical temperature of an underdoped cuprate superconductor is limited by its phase stiffness $\rho$. In this Letter we argue that the dependence of $\rho$ on doping $x$ should be understood as a consequence of deleterious competition…
We study the complexity of holographic superconductors (Einstein-Maxwell-complex scalar actions in $d+1$ dimension) by the `complexity = volume' (CV) conjecture. First, it seems that there is a universal property: the superconducting phase…
We investigate the dependence of the conductivity and the entanglement entropy on the space-time dimensionality $d$ in two holographic superconductors: one dual to a quantum critical point with spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the other…
We re-investigate the holographic superconductor in hyperscaling violation geometry by considering the coupling between the probed Maxwell field and the background dilaton. We find that the phenomenon of superconductivity still exists, but…
