Holographic Van der Waals phase transition of the higher dimensional electrically charged hairy black hole

Abstract

With motivation by holography, employing black hole entropy, two point connection function and entanglement entropy, we show that, for the higher dimensional Anti-de Sitter charged hairy black hole in the fixed charged ensemble, a Van der Waals-like phase transition can be observed. Furthermore, based on the Maxwell's equal area construction, we check numerically the equal area law for a first order phase transition in order to further characterize the Van der Waals-like phase transition.
