Construction of Superconducting Dome and Emergence of Quantum Critical Region in Holography

In this work, we investigate an extended model of holographic superconductor by a non-linear electrodynamic interaction coupled to a complex scalar field. This non-linear interaction term can make a quantum phase transition at zero temperature with finite charge carrier density. By solving full equations of motion, we can construct various shapes of the superconducting phase in the phase diagram. With a specific choice of interaction coefficients, we can construct a phase diagram with a superconducting dome. Also, we find a new geometric solution inside the superconducting dome, which turns out to be a Lifshitz-type geometry. This geometry is characterized by a dynamical critical exponent, which plays a crucial role near the quantum critical point. We refer to this region in the phase diagram as a `quantum critical region.'
