Holographic paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition with Power-Maxwell electrodynamics

We explore the effects of Power-Maxwell nonlinear electrodynamics on the properties of holographic paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition in the background of Schwarzchild Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole. For this purpose, we introduce a massive 2-form coupled to the Power-Maxwell field. We perform the numerical shooting method in the probe limit by assuming the Power-Maxwell and the 2-form fields do not back react on the background geometry. We observe that increasing the strength of the power parameter causes the formation of magnetic moment in the black hole background harder and critical temperature lower. In the absence of external magnetic field and at the low temperatures, the spontaneous magnetization and the ferromagnetic phase transition happen. In this case, the critical exponent for magnetic moment is always 1/2 which is in agreement with the result from the mean field theory. In the presence of external magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibility satisfies the Cure-Weiss law. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
