Ginzburg-Landau expansion is derived for superconductors with the gap-function odd over $k-k_{F}$. It is shown that in this odd-gap case Ginzburg-Landau coefficients possess an additional dependence on the pairing coupling constant which…

We investigate the holographic $p$-wave superconductors in the presence of the higher order corrections on the gravity as well as on the gauge field side. On the gravity side, we add the Gauss-Bonnet curvature correction terms, while on the…
The anomalous scaling in the Ginzburg-Landau model for the superconducting phase transition is studied. It is argued that the negative sign of the $\eta$ exponent is a consequence of a special singular behavior in momentum space. The…
The holographic model for a two-dimensional superconductor has been investigated by considering the three-dimensional gravity in the bulk. To find the critical temperature, we used the Sturm-Liouville variational method. Where as the same…
We calculate the charge current generated by a temperature bias between the two ends of a tubular nanowire. We show that in the presence of a transversal magnetic field the current can change sign, i.e., electrons can either flow from the…
The low-energy limits of the string theory lead to the higher-order curvature corrections for Einstein gravity. Also, they give the higher-order derivative corrections for the Maxwell or linear electrodynamics, which suggests the nonlinear…
We develop a general holographic superconductor away from the probe limit by considering the corrections both in the gravity and in the gauge matter fields. We find the consistent effects of the high curvature correction in the gravity, the…
It has been conjectured that the phase transition in the Ginzburg-Landau theory is dual to the XY model transition. We study numerically a particular limit of the GL theory where this duality becomes exact, clarifying some of the problems…
