Abstract: Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the thermodynamic properties and the phase diagram of matter fields on (2+1)-dimensional defects coupled to a (3+1)-dimensional N=4 SYM "heat bath". Considering a background magnetic field, (net) quark density, defect "magnitude" and the mass of the matter, we study the defect contribution to the thermodynamic potentials and their first and second derivatives to map the phases and study their physical properties. We find some features that are qualitatively similar to other systems e.g. in (3+1) dimensions and a number of features that are particular to the defect nature, such as its magnetic properties, unexpected properties at T->0 and finite density; and the finite effects, e.g. a diverging susceptibility and vanishing density of states at small temperatures, a physically consistent negative heat capacity and new types of consistent phases.
