摘要

We employ the variational method for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem to analytically study phase transition of one-dimensional holographic superconductors. It is shown that this method is not a very powerful method to analytically calculate the properties of holographic superconductors. From the analytical treatment of scalar operator condensate at critical temperature, we also show that the mean-field critical exponent 1/2 results from the coupling term between scalar field and vector field, which may be an universal property of holographic superconductors with a similar coupling term in their equations of motion.
