contents In this study, we investigate a type-II holographic superconductor with a perturbative scalar field over a (3 + 1)-dimensional electric and magnetically charged planar AdS black hole. After consistently decoupling the scalar field sector from the complete Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar system, we delve into the thermodynamical properties of the background relevant for the dual description of the Ginzburg-Landau density of superconducting states. The adoption of a London gauge allowed us to consider the magnetic field as a uniform external field over which the holographic superconductor is subject. This consideration enables a consistent description of the appearance of Abrikosov vortex lattices typical in type-II superconductors. Thus, by matching near horizon and boundary expansions of the scalar field, we obtained an expression for the upper critical magnetic field as a function of temperature in both, the canonical and grand canonical ensemble. These novel results confirm that our perturbative scalar field model consistently reproduces the well-known temperature behavior of the upper critical magnetic field according to the Ginzburg-Landau theory and other Abelian-Higgs holographic developments for type-II superconductors. In addition, a new analysis of the scalar field equation in terms of a Schrödinger potential led us to observe the existence of potential wells distributed along the holographic coordinate. We interpret these regions with a local minimum as those in which bound states can exist, dual to the Cooper pairs density. These results provide evidence for the existence of an IR order parameter near the extremality. In view of this, we performed a closer inspection of the IR effective scalar equation in which the geometry adopts a Schwarzschild AdS$_{2}\times \mathbb{R}^{2}$ structure.
