  The effects of the string cloud on higher-dimensional holographic
superconductors in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity are investigated in the probe
limit. The critical temperature is analytically obtained using Sturm-Liouville
eigenvalue method. It is observed that the critical temperature only exists in
an allowed region of the parameter space. Also, the presence of the string
cloud with the sufficiently large density should prevent the the existence of
the critical temperature. As increasing the string cloud density parameter, the
critical temperature decreases in the region of the sufficiently low charge
density but increases in the region of the sufficiently high charge density.
Whereas, the presence of Gauss-Bonnet terms always makes the critical
temperature decreasing. In addition, the expression of the condensation
operator and the critical exponent are computed analytically.
