Thermodynamic geometry and thermal stability ofn-dimensional dilaton black holes in the presence of logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a new class of black hole solutions which is coupled to the logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics in the context of dilaton gravity. We consider an $n$-dimensional action in which gravity is coupled to the logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics field and a scalar dilaton field to obtain the equations of motion of the gravitational, dilaton and electromagnetic fields. This leads to finding a new class of $n$-dimensional static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions in the presence of two Liouville-type dilaton potentials. The asymptotic behavior of these solutions is neither flat nor (anti-)de Sitter [(A)dS], and in the limiting case where the nonlinear parameter $\ensuremath{\beta}$ goes to infinity, our solutions reduce to the black holes of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity in higher dimensions. Thermodynamic quantities such as mass, temperature, electric potential and entropy are also computed, and it is shown that they agree with the first law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, we find that for small values of the electric charge parameter $q$, and the dilaton coupling constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, as well as small dimension $n$, the solutions are thermally stable. By increasing $n$, the region of stability stands for smaller values of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ independent of $q$. Finally, we use the method of thermodynamical geometry and find the phase transition points by calculating the Ricci scalar of a thermodynamic metric.
