  In this paper, we construct a novel holographic superconductor from higher
derivative (HD) gravity involving a coupling between the complex scalar field
and the Weyl tensor. This HD coupling term provides a near horizon effective
mass squared, which can violates IR Breitenlohner-Freedman (BF) bound by tuning
the HD coupling and induces the instability of black brane such that the
superconducting phase transition happens. We also study the properties of the
condensation and the conductivity in the probe limit. We find that a wider
extension of the superconducting energy gap ranging from 4.6 to 10.5 may
provide a novel platform to model and interpret the phenomena in the real
materials of high temperature superconductor.
