The theory of nonlinear electrodynamics has got a lot of attentions in recent years. It was shown that Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics is not the only modification of the linear Maxwell's field which keeps the electric field of a charged point particle finite at the origin, and other type of nonlinear Lagrangian such as exponential and logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics can play the same role. In this paper, we generalize the study on the exponential nonlinear electrodynamics by adding a scalar dilaton field to the action. By suitably choosing the coupling of the matter field to the dilaton field, we vary the action and obtain the corresponding field equations. Then, by making a proper ansatz, we construct a new class of charged dilaton black hole solutions coupled to the exponential nonlinear electrodynamics field in the presence of two Liouville-type potentials for the dilaton field.Due to the presence of the dilaton field, the asymptotic behavior of these solutions are neither flat nor (A)dS. In the limiting case where the nonlinear parameter β 2 goes to infinity, our solution reduces to the Einstein-Maxwell dilaton black holes. We obtain the mass, temperature, entropy and electric potential of these solutions. We also study the behaviour of the electric field as well as the electric potential of these black holes near the origin. We find that the electric field has a finite value near the origin, which is the same as the electric field of Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics, but it can diverge exactly at r = 0 depending on the model parameters. We also investigate the effects of the dilaton field on the behaviour of the electric field and electric potential. Finally, we check the validity of the first law of black hole thermodynamics on the black hole horizon.

In this paper, we take into account the dilaton black hole solutions of Einstein gravity in the presence of logarithmic and exponential forms of nonlinear electrodynamics. At first, we consider the cosmological constant and nonlinear parameter as thermodynamic quantities which can vary. We obtain thermodynamic quantities of the system such as pressure, temperature and Gibbs free energy in an extended phase space. We complete the analogy of the nonlinear dilaton black holes with Van der Waals liquid-gas system. We work in the canonical ensemble and hence we treat the charge of the black hole as an external fixed parameter. Moreover, we calculate the critical values of temperature, volume and pressure and show they depend on dilaton coupling constant as well as nonlinear parameter. We also investigate the critical exponents and find that they are universal and independent of the dilaton and nonlinear parameters, which is an expected result. Finally, we explore the phase transition of nonlinear dilaton black holes by studying the Gibbs free energy of the system. We find that in case of T > Tc, we have no phase transition. When T = Tc, the system admits a second order phase transition, while for T = T f < Tc the system experiences a first order transition. Interestingly, for T f < T < Tc we observe a zeroth order phase transition in the presence of dilaton field. This novel zeroth order phase transition is occurred due to a finite jump in Gibbs free energy which is generated by dilaton-electromagnetic coupling constant, α, for a certain range of pressure.

We construct a new class of dyonic dilaton black hole solutions in the background of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. In order to find an analytical solution which satisfy all the field equations, we should consider the string case where the dilaton coupling is α = 1. The asymptotic behaviour of the solution (r → ∞) is exactly AdS, where the dilaton field becomes zero and the metric function reduces to f (r) → −Λr 2 /3. In this spacetime, black hole horizons and cosmological horizons, can be a two-dimensional positive, zero or negative constant curvature surface. We study the physical properties of the solution and show that depending on the metric parameters, these solutions can describe black holes with one or two horizons or a naked singularity. We investigate thermodynamics of the solutions by calculating the charge, mass, temperature, entropy and the electric potential of these solutions and disclose that these conserved and thermodynamic quantities satisfy the first law of black hole thermodynamics. We also analyze thermal stability of the solutions and find the conditions for which we have a stable dyonic dilaton black hole. *

It is well-known that with an appropriate combination of three Liouville-type dilaton potentials, one can construct charged dilaton black holes in an (anti)-de Sitter [(A)dS] spaces in the presence of linear Maxwell field. However, asymptotically (A)dS dilaton black holes coupled to nonlinear gauge field have not been found. In this paper, we construct, for the first time, three new classes of dilaton black hole solutions in the presence of three types of nonlinear electrodynamics, namely Born-Infeld, Logarithmic and Exponential nonlinear electrodynamics. All these solutions are asymptotically (A)dS and in the linear regime reduce to the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton black holes in AdS spaces. We investigate physical properties and the causal structure, as well as asymptotic behavior of the obtained solutions, and show that depending on the values of the metric parameters, the singularity can be covered by various horizons. Interestingly enough, we find that the coupling of dilaton field and nonlinear gauge field in the background of (A)dS spaces leads to a strange behaviour for the electric field. We observe that the electric field is zero at singularity and increases smoothly until reaches a maximum value, then it decreases smoothly until goes to zero as r → ∞. The maximum value of the electric field increases with increasing the nonlinear parameter β or decreasing the dilaton coupling α and is shifted to the singularity in the absence of either dilaton field (α = 0) or nonlinear gauge field (β → ∞).

We investigate a new class of [Formula: see text]-dimensional topological black hole solutions in the context of massive gravity and in the presence of logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics. Exploring higher-dimensional solutions in massive gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics is motivated by holographic hypothesis as well as string theory. We first construct exact solutions of the field equations and then explore the behavior of the metric functions for different values of the model parameters. We observe that our black holes admit the multi-horizons caused by a quantum effect called anti-evaporation. Next, by calculating the conserved and thermodynamic quantities, we obtain a generalized Smarr formula. We find that the first law of black holes thermodynamics is satisfied on the black hole horizon. We study thermal stability of the obtained solutions in both canonical and grand canonical ensembles. We reveal that depending on the model parameters, our solutions exhibit a rich variety of phase structures. Finally, we explore, for the first time without extending thermodynamics phase space, the critical behavior and reentrant phase transition for black hole solutions in massive gravity theory. We realize that there is a zeroth-order phase transition for a specified range of charge value and the system experiences a large/small/large reentrant phase transition due to the presence of nonlinear electrodynamics.
