In this work we study some holographic models this has put forward, such as the Reissner-Nordstro ̈m metal and the holographic superconductor. Of these models we observe transport properties like the optical conductivity under both translational invariance and broken symmetry. Lastly, we merged the two systems into the two-charge holographic superconductor and managed to again see the phase transition, measure the optical conductivity and analyse the two- fluid model.Show less
