Entropy of Dilatonic Black Hole

Abstract

By using the method of quantum statistics, we directly derive the partition function of bosonic and fermionic field in dilatonic black hole and obtain the integral expression of the black hole's entropy, which avoids the difficulty in solving the wave equationof various particles. Then via the improved brick-wall method, membrane model, we obtain that we can choose proper parameter in order to let the thickness of film tend to zero and have it approach the surface of its horizon. Consequently the entropy of the black hole is proportional to the area of its horizon. In our result, the stripped term and the divergent logarithmic term in the original brick-wall method no longer exist. In the whole process, physics idea is clear; calculation is simple. We offer a new simple and direct way of calculating the entropy of different complicated black holes.
